<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Artists living with art" is full of fascinating and often surprising revelations about the artworks a select group of the world's most influential contemporary artists choose to collect and display in the intimacy of their own homes. (Just as Andy Warhol famously collected cookie jars, so do these 25 artists, all living in New York, collect art and in some cases, mundane objects they cherish as art.) The works they display reflect remarkably diverse, eclectic and often unexpected tastes. Many of these homes, some of which also function as studios, have never been seen and offer unique insight into each artists' personal life, creative process, and artistic practices, as well as what inspires them and who their friends are (many swap art with one another). Readers will learn about the pieces most treasured by each artist, as well as their favourite period in art (a surprising number have a preference for pre-twentieth-century art). Authors Stacey Goergen and Amanda Benchley gained unprecedented access into each home for the photography and interviews, and highly acclaimed photographer Oberto Gili was commissioned to shoot the these homes especially for the book.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Artists Living with Art</i> invites readers into the homes and personal art collections of some of the world's most renowned contemporary artists, including Cindy Sherman, Helen and Brice Marden, Chuck Close, Rachel Feinstein and John Currin, Glenn Ligon, and Pat Steir. Here readers will find beautifully renovated lofts in SoHo, 19th-century Brooklyn brownstones, and a restored farmhouse in the Hudson River Valley, all filled with cherished artworks as well as objects, textiles, and ceramics set on display in artful and creative ways. Photographed by Oberto Gili, these gorgeous interiors will inspire readers to rethink the display of their own art and treasured possessions, whether it's a perfectly placed painting or rocks found on a beach.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Tantalizingly voyeuristic."-- "W magazine"<br><br>"While salivating over the whitewashed walls and spacious home offices of some of the most successful artists working today is certainly enjoyable, we think the most fascinating part of the experience is seeing their coveted art collections, and making connections between artists."-- "Artnet"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Stacey Goergen</b> is an independent curator and journalist and the director of the nonprofit organization SmartSpaces. <p/><b>Amanda Benchley</b> is an independent filmmaker and journalist whose writing has appeared in the <i>Wall Street Journal</i>, the <i>New York</i><i>Observer</i>, and the Huffington Post. <p/><b>Oberto Gili</b>'s images have appeared in such magazines as <i>House & Garden</i>, <i>World of Interiors</i>, <i>ELLE DECOR</i>, and <i>Vogue</i> for 40 years. <br>
