"Exposing the Absurd: A Journalist's Undercover Art Scene Investigation"

In her book "Get the Picture," Bianca Bosker goes undercover in New York's contemporary art scene, revealing the absurdities and exclusivity of the art world. She uncovers the new class hierarchies, subtle cues of cultural distinction, and the ways in which money and privilege dictate access and success in the art world. Bosker exposes the often-abusive labor practices, the fetishization of political radicalism, and the exclusion of marginalized groups in the art industry. While critiquing the art expertise and gatekeepers, she also highlights the wisdom and insight provided by artists and gallerists, ultimately advocating for making art expertise more accessible.
