To expose one’s art is about the ego: the preening results are overwhelming in their number and diversity.Marcus Reichert (painter, film-maker, and poet), and Edward Rozzo, (professor of photographic semantics and visual culture), discuss how art and ego mesh to satisfy the needs of the precarious world of contemporary fine art.

They examine subjects as diverse as technique, eroticism, spirituality, and the dictates of an increasingly powerful bureaucracy of galleries and museums, drawing to some startling and compelling conclusions.

Highlights:
• A controversial look at how art and ego mesh to satisfy the needs of the precarious world of contemporary fine art.

• Art & Ego is essential reading for anyone drawn to confessional writing of a disarming and amusing nature

• Generously illustrated with works by artists as various as Richard Avedon and Francis Bacon
