This book is awesome to have if you love art and you live in New York. Organized by neighborhood, The Complete Guide is easy to follow, gives comprehensive descriptions, and hits all the important stops. For artists it is a great resource, especially because galleries are classified by what type of art they specialize in, if any, and Renee Phillips provides useful details about each gallery. Definately a gem if you work in the art world or if you just love art.

This book as an invaluable resource and motivational guide for artists. Helpful in understanding the bigger picture of the New York, which galleries to approach and which not to approach. Every major gallery is included along with many alternative exhibition venues that I wouldn't have known about. The book has alot of information you can't find anywhere else such as how they select their artists, what materials they want to see and when, what level of experience artists, and other useful background information.I was pleased to learn what many galleries don't want you to know such as further exhibitions fees and promotional expences they will expect you to pay.

Although I haven't read the book, it seems that one can attain its flavor by examining the content displayed above at top of page. All the information presented can easily be gleaned from the internet and one wonders how complete the book can be if it has lopped off significant galleries, as per its index, such as Gogosian and Louis Meisel Galleries, among others. Perhaps the author has no real familiarity with the galleries listed, or so it seems.
