SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE'Irreverent, provocative and funny' Dazed'This book might change the way you look at art, or change the way you feel it' Daisy Hildyard'A full-throated defence of the inherent value of making, experiencing and talking about art' Frieze'Let me stay there, let me paint. Let me go to bed when the sun comes up. I don't want life to sharpen me.'Why make art? Faced with a capitalist system that has turned art into artwork and creative expression into cut-throat competition, why do so many artists try anyway?In this eye-opening journey through the bizarre world of contemporary art, criticism duo The White Pube tell the story of art like never before. Poor Artists follows aspiring artist Quest Talukdar through childhood obsessions, art school lessons and her professional debut. In surreal encounters with other artists, Quest learns profound truths about money and power, and must decide whether she cares more about success or staying true to herself.

Blending imaginative storytelling with dialogue from anonymized interviews with real people in the art world who have all had to wrestle with the same decisions – including a Turner Prize winner or two, a few ghosts, a Venice Biennale fraudster and a communist messiah – Poor Artists is a powerful testimony to the emotional, existential and financial experience of artists today.

Perfect Read for My FGTeeV Fan
Format: Paperback
My son loves watching their YouTube videos, so getting this book FGTeeV Presents: Into the Game! was such a great buy. He’s totally into the characters and story, and the book keeps him entertained just like their channel does. If you’ve got a little gamer in the house who follows FGTeeV, this is a fun, on-theme pick they’ll enjoy! 🎉

Perfect gift for little nephew
Format: Paperback
Young fella was asking for this book and I got it for him. He likes it and he’s very happy. That makes me happy as well. He says the illustrations and story are cool. That’s all I have to say about that. I guess this book falls in the same category as the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” book series. Wish I had these books when I was a young one. Only read Peanuts and Garfield on the weekend newspaper back in the days.

Purchased just because
Format: Hardcover
I bought this for my 9yr old he would watch them on YouTube and then I found this book. He read it in no time. I guess he liked it a lot, he didn't complain that he didn't. So if your kiddo enjoys watching them on YouTube then I'm pretty sure they will enjoy reading this book. Just being honest.
