What makes cult artist?
Cult artists exist in a variety of forms, whether they are avant-garde practitioners, aggressively and unmistakably distinctive, or contentious among critics. Some people achieve instant recognition, others achieve instant notoriety, and still others remain unknown until a sudden shift in fashion catapults their creations into the spotlight. 
 
This handy little book features a hand-picked list of inspiring artists you should be familiar with, including Frida Kahlo and the legendary Salvador Dali, as well as radical activists like the Guerrilla Girls and Ana Mendieta. Sculptors, performers, graffiti artists, and fine artists all use a variety of artistic mediums. From unknowns with little but devoted fan bases to celebrities on magazine covers, each is unique in their uniqueness and their capacity to motivate, enrage, and please. 
Cult Artists is both a necessary addition to the collection of any art enthusiast and a fun introduction to the bizarre and fascinating world of contemporary art.
