Reviews for index A to Z: Art, Design, Fashion, Film, and Music in the Indie Era
"...index A to Z: Art, Design, Fashion, Film, and Music in the Indie Era, a glossy and fun collection that really captures the spirit of this fruitful period in underground culture." -Style.com "...particular slice of history is inventively retold in a new book, Index A to Z, which eschews simple chronology in favor of eclectic categories, from Advertising to Zeitgeist (the latter including some classic party shots of Ryan McGinley and infamous literary hoax artist “JT Leroy”)." -ArtInfo “There was a radical realism to it all that made you feel close to the glamourous people that mattered to you, as though they were just like you, and one day, you might be able to join them. Flipping through Rizzoli’s retrospective book today, the effect is just the same.” –Fader Magazine
