Seven Days in Albany

November 10, 2009 by Marion Maneker

The crash in art values hasn’t diminished interest in Sarah Thornton’s Seven Days in the Art World, here she speaks in Albany:

Sarah Thornton“A lot of people dismiss the art world as being a shallow place,” Thornton said. “I hope that my readers see that it is mostly full of people who are looking to enrich their lives through art.” […] As a sociologist Thornton is not looking into the art realm through the lens of an art critic, but instead as a non-biased participant observer. She feels this immersion into her subject allowed her to give a true depiction of the different art sub-cultures. “Most books about art criticism are not interested in speaking to people outside the art world,” Thornton said. “I’m interested in the idea of a growing involvement in contemporary art.” […] “I hope the book doesn’t get dismissed because it is too easy to read,” she said.
