Customer Reviews

Wong exhibit now on view!

I saw this book at the Martin Wong exhibit now on view at NYU on 11th Street in NYC. Don't miss it if you like Martin's work....or if you want to learn more about him. They have an excellent selection of his original art, his notebooks, and his art materials. The show starts off with an interesting video that helps set the scene for his work. Don't miss it if you can make to Manhattan between now and October, 2009!

I still regret not purchasing a painting of Martin's

I am still kicking myself for not buying a painting of Martin's when he had his Chinatown exhibit. I did not have the money at that time. Having the book helps. What a wonderful book!
