A FEW CONTEMPORARY ART WEB SITES

http://hyperallergic.com/
http://artfcity.com/
http://www.artnet.com/
http://artforum.com/
http://thebrucehighqualityfoundation.com/




Hyperallergic and ArtF City (Paddy Johnson founder great writer)  are wonderful overall sites- (Hyper is International-Art F City is geared for NYC) sometimes serious and sometimes gossipy. Artnet is a much more established source of info on contemporary and historical ( former student of mine from Rutgers Brian Boucher writes for them-check his stuff out-he's insightful and can be wickedly funny.Artforum magazine has been a major force in contemporary art journalism since before I WAS IN ART SCHOOL!!!!! It's Vogue slick and essentially all about the money ( so yes, it's very important). The Bruce High Quality Foundation is a semi-anonymous group of former Cooper Union students ( taught Joe Kay) that have sky rocketed to the highest recognition level in the global art world...quite the phenomenon! They're funny-sometimes hilarious -sometimes Fraternity prank humorous ( granted they ARE ALL in their twenties) but never boring. The site is a resource primarily of their works/projects but will give you a peak inside the sometimes insane contemporary art world.
enjoy-
