About the Book

The Art Beat
America's favorite art columnist tells it like it is.

Art maven Alan Klevit combines Art Appreciation 101, social criticism, and "how-to" for buying and collecting art in The Art Beat. But look out-this informative, controversial, funny, and incisive compilation can be, occasionally, just a tad nasty.

The Art Beat began as a television show in the early 1990s and first appeared in print in 1995. Its continued popularity is the result of Alan Klevit's knowledge, expertise, and true love of the arts, and this collection establishes him as our leading art advocate.
*****
"The Art Beat has consistently been our most popular column. Our readers enjoy Alan's no-nonsense style and his passion for the arts."
-Paul Ruffman, Malibu Chronicle publisher
