In his memoiristic new book, photographer Mark Alice Durant weaves his personal experiences into a larger rebuke of the economic inequality that governs the art world. For something that determines so much — about the art we make, the art we get to see or not, the art that may never be made at all.
For New York readers, the important questions are what this story changes, who is affected, what remains uncertain, and whether official records or public responses support the claims being discussed.
BigNY links to the original media report so readers can review the reporting directly. When official records, agency pages, court filings, audits, or public statements are available, they should be read alongside the media account for full context.
