Books like Vitamin P: New Perspectives in Painting

More of a reference than a sit-down-and-read, Phaidon has created yet another incredible art book, that shoudl be considered indispensible for the contemporary painter, and invaluable for an enthusiaist of contemporary painting. THAT SAID--There's a lot of work in here that's not going to knock your socks off. The collection of artists assembled here are somewhat inconsistent in quality--but from an editor's point of view, an incredibly large range of work is represented--you might be surprised at what strikes a chord with you. Particular faves of mine in Vitamin P-- Peter Doig, Jane Callister, Karen Kilimnick, Laylah Ali, Fred Tomaselli, Elizabeth Peyton, Matthew Ritchie.... and a bunch of other good ones I can't recall right now. Really informative, and far-reaching. A great book. I found Vitamin D was a lot more consistent in quality, but maybe that's just me.
