Marin Kosut

“Art Monster can’t be contained in a blurb. Light on its toes and sharp in its wit, it’s both a celebration and an excoriation of New York’s art world. An absolute delight to read a book that deftly describes those of us who “yearn for the mud”—I loved it.” 
—Alexandra Auder, author of Don’t Call Me Home


“Art Monster is both an ode to and an interrogation of New York—amid the city's history, ambition, and impossibilities, what kinds of art can survive and flourish? Marin Kosut's pursuit of this answer is not to be missed—this is an important book for anyone making art right now.”
—Chelsea Hodson, author of Tonight I'm Someone Else


“A must read for artists who don't believe in selling out, fear the inevitability of doing so, and are looking for company as they lay their course through late-stage art capitalism.” 
—Jenni Quilter, author of New York Painters and Poets: Neon in Daylight
