Blood and Paint: Essays on Art in Los Angeles offers 34 interviews, fascinating articles and laugh out loud commentary by artist Gordy Grundy. These selected works, previously published in Artillery magazine, Coagula and the Huffington Post, present our unique time and place in contemporary art history. Ed Ruscha, Marina Abramovic, Andy Warhol, Tilda Swinton, Chris Burden, Walter Hopps and Takashi Murakami are just a few of the many superstars who populate the book. The offerings are diverse, bound by a true love and understanding of the city. A funny interview with Ferus gallerist Irving Blum is painted with nostalgia. As an investigative journalist, Grundy reveals and solves a fifty-year old Ed Ruscha art world mystery. Included in the collection is a one act play, Time For A Pacific Standard, "a Robert Altman-esque romp through LA in the Sixties." Grundy's depiction of Marina Abromovic's MOCA gala presents a scandalous nightmare with laughs.
