Editorial Reviews
Alix Ohlin, The Wilson Quarterly
The emperor of contemporary art does in fact have clothes--confusing and abstract clothes, but clothes nonetheless.

Review
Nancy G. Heller is a godsend for the average Joe who wants to understand modern art.
Heller organizes a large body of material coherently . . . [and] clearly explains concepts that might otherwise seem novel or complex.
Heller simplifies the complexities of modern avant-garde art, making it palatable and accessible to an uninformed audience.
The emperor of contemporary art does in fact have clothes--confusing and abstract clothes, but clothes nonetheless.
[S]hort, pithy, and intelligent.
