June Mattingly’s New E-Tome on Texas Contemporary Artists

Dallas art writer and collector June Mattingly’s new e-book The State of the Art: Contemporary Artists in Texas, is out-available for Nook, Kindle and iPad. Mattingly, a Dallas artworld fixture best known as owner/co-founder of Mattingly Baker Gallery in the ’80s, says she has “been working on it forever, I don’t know how long. Probably since I taught ‘How to Collect Contemporary Art’ at SMU.” The hefty (virtually speaking) 220-page e-tome ($17.99 on iTunes, $9.99 Kindle) is prefaced with an argument for the Texas contemporary art scene, includes a glossary of prominent art people and places in the state; the rest is pictures of works by 87 artists, including:
