Jack Goldstein and the CalArts Mafia is anchored by Jack's reflections, dramatized by Hertz into first person narratives, of the early days of CalArts and the last days of Chouinard; the New York artworld; the trials and tribulations of finding and maintaining success; his inter-personal relationships; and his disappearance from the art scene. They are complemented by the dramatized first person narratives of Jack's friends, including John Baldessari, Troy Brauntuch, Rosetta Brooks, Jean Fisher, Robert Longo, Matt Mullican, and James Welling. There are provocative portraits of many well known personalities of the 80s, including Mary Boone, David Salle, and Helene Winer, all working at a time when the competitive spirit was strong and often brutal, caring little about anything but oneself and making lots of money. Has anything changed?

Review:
Jack Goldstein's recollections of the art world of the 1980s, along with many who knew him, is a sobering book. --Arthur Danto, The Nation, May 17, 2004

An essential contribution, packed with revealing disclosures, the book is biting, controversial, contradictory, hilarious, and riveting. --Mariah Corrigan, College Art Association Online Reviews, August 2, 2004

I am certain that Jack Goldstein and the CalArts Mafia is a first-rate contribution to the history of contemporary art. --David Carrier, artUS, June-August, 2004
