Painting By Numbers: Komar and Melamid鈥檚 Scientific Guide to Art exposes
the methodology of two New York-based Russian pop artists. They give people the
art they want by conducting questionnaires, number-crunching the results and,
like staunch worker-artists, knocking up a gallery of the world鈥檚 most and least
wanted paintings. Hilarious. Published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $50,
ISBN 0374228809.
