Get the Picture: A Mind-Bending Journey among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See
By Bianca Bosker
An Instant New York Times Bestseller
Named a Best Book of 2024 by NPR, TIME, and The Economist
From the bestselling author of Cork Dork comes a wildly entertaining and deeply immersive deep-dive into the high-stakes, wonderfully bizarre world of art and the people obsessed with it.
In Get the Picture, award-winning journalist Bianca Bosker infiltrates the inner circle of artists, gallerists, collectors, curators, and critics in an attempt to answer one deceptively simple question: What makes art matter? Along the way, she learns to stretch canvases, stare at sculptures until her brain melts, and even endures a (literal) performance art sit-in.
Witty, whip-smart, and endlessly curious, Bosker’s personal journey from outsider to insider reveals not just how art works—but how to see the world more vividly, more empathetically, and with more delight.
- Hilarious, sharp, and full of heart
- For fans of Mary Roach, Tom Wolfe, and Olivia Laing
- Equal parts memoir, investigation, and cultural critique
- A perfect gift for artists, collectors, creatives, and curious minds
