Failed Artist is a captivating journey into the beating heart of contemporary art. The book gathers a series of iconic interviews and writings by Francesco Bonami, originally published in the magazine Flash Art, offering a privileged window onto the minds of the world’s most influential artists.
These key figures of the art world reveal what happens behind the scenes. What emerges is a lively, thought-provoking narrative — a symphony of voices, ideas, and emotions that brings to life the stories and transformations that have shaped the global art scene.
It’s a journey through success and failure in the art world, where, as Bonami reminds us, “all names are written in pencil.”
