The Artist's Touch

The Artists Touch is a collection of ten stories which, examine the terrain upon which Art meets the marketplace. Painters, sculptors, and craftsmen interact with dealers, critics and collectors over issues of artistic integrity and free market values. Against this background, a painter walks the fine line between optimism and denial, a sculptor is presented with the opportunity to sell out, and a young critic undergoes a rite of passage "according to the Oedipal Rule."
