Not a Greatest Hits Package-- Bob Nickas

Tom Keyser, in a "Best Bets" entry in the Times Union, quotes art critic Bob Nickas (who visits today) on his new combination-memoir-and-art-retrospective, Catalogue of the Exhibition:

“I did not put the book together in the way a band might assemble a greatest hits package.” Instead, it’s an “idiosyncratic” collection that includes lesser-known artists, such as the now-defunct duo Wallace & Donohue, rather than, say, Jeff Koons.
