De Land of Ilk and Money

Bringing to light the curatorial practices—and bad-hair days, of which there were many—of American art collector Colin de Land is Colin De Land: American Fine Arts, a book showcasing the art dealer’s life through snapshots, photographs, and personal anecdotes from some of the artists and writers and John Waters involved with de Land and his gallery over the years. The gallery, notorious for its anti-commercialism and unusual shows, was a landmark in the SoHo art scene in the late 1980s. The book pays homage to the legacy left by a man responsible not only for his influence, but for his precedence in New York’s art scene.
