这本由颇具影响力的艺术经销商兼作家撰写的回忆录，以近距离且个人化的视角展现了六十至七十年代纽约蓬勃发展的艺术界。

 

迈克尔·芬德利作为当今最受尊敬的艺术经销商之一，他的职业生涯始于与二十世纪末艺术界最令人兴奋的人物们共事。他那本配图丰富的回忆录追溯了他从苏格兰的童年到抵达纽约的历程，在那里他指导了苏荷区首批艺术画廊之一，让美国观众接触到了如约瑟夫·博伊斯和肖恩·斯卡利等艺术家。芬德利还举办了约翰·巴尔代萨里、汉娜·威尔克、斯蒂芬·穆勒和比利·沙利文的首次个展。他生动地回忆了自己与画家、雕塑家、艺术经销商、艺术收藏家、演员、模特以及纽约市中心艺术圈核心的创作人才们的交往。

 

在芬德利笔下星光熠熠的人物群像中，安迪·沃霍尔、大卫·霍克尼、布里奇特·莱利、贾斯珀·约翰斯、罗伯特·劳森伯格、雷·约翰逊、杰拉尔德·莱恩、约瑟夫·康奈尔、艾伦·金斯伯格、杰拉尔德·马兰加以及模特娜奥米·西姆斯纷纷登场。他生动地描绘了切尔西酒店、圣马可广场、Studio 54和Max’s Kansas City的往来盛况。他还坦诚地详细描述了那个摇摆时代狂野派对和自由奔放生活方式的利弊。任何对二十世纪文化史、二战后艺术市场或六十至七十年代纽约感兴趣的人，都将被芬德利引人入胜的旅程深深吸引并感到愉悦。

 

This memoir from the influential art dealer and author offers an up close and personal perspective on New York’s vibrant art scene of the sixties and seventies.

One of today’s most respected art dealers, Michael Findlay launched his career surrounded by the most exciting figures of the late twentieth century art scene. His generously illustrated memoir traces his childhood in Scotland to his arrival in New York, where he directed one of the first art galleries in SoHo, exposing American audiences to the likes of Joseph Beuys and Sean Scully. Findlay launched the first solo exhibitions of John Baldessari, Hannah Wilke, Stephen Mueller and Billy Sullivan. He offers fascinating recollections about his relationships with painters and sculptors, art dealers and art collectors, actors, models and the creative talents at the heart of New York’s Downtown scene.

 

Making appearances in Findlay’s stellar cast of characters are Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Bridget Riley, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Ray Johnson, Gerald Laing, Joseph Cornell, Allen Ginsberg, Gerard Malanga, and model Naomi Sims. He vividly depicts the comings and goings at The Chelsea Hotel, St. Mark’s Place, Studio 54, and Max’s Kansas City. He describes in candid detail the pros and cons of the wild parties and the freewheeling lifestyle of that swinging era. Anyone interested in twentieth century cultural history, the post–World War II art market, or sixties and seventies New York will be gripped and entertained by Findlay’s evocatively recounted journey.
