For the Artists (Jan. 2014) is a collection of art reviews, critical essays and interviews with artists that chronicles an exhilarating time in the artworld of 1980s Manhattan when a burgeoning gallery scene in the East Village evolved to rival the more established gallery outposts on 57th Street. Reviewed are well-known names and upstart younger painters, photographers, sculptors, film-makers and creative folks working in various media. Complementing the text are 10 artist portraits by acclaimed photographer Barry Kornbluh, and a number of reproductions of artists' work, including two never-before-published drawings by Jean-Michel Basquiat.
