...an in-depth, curiously illustrated history...The book is, among other things, a striking object... Live the Ar t is itself an exercise in nostalgia for a bygone New York. - The New York Times

This is the art book of the year , a vast catalog of the artists and events sponsored by Jeffrey Deitch in the abandoned garage in SoHo that became Deitch Projects from 1996-2010, when the dealer decamped to run the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. The cover is a plastic dinner plate; inside, there are endless color photos of the old gallery space alive with everything from beaded kitchens (artist Liza Lou) to Debbie Harry and Fab 5 Freddy Recapturing the Rapture. Each chapter is a year of the gallery's art. You only have to flip through the pages to see that money was a small part of what made Deitch Projects so special. The essential thing was to be a model for arts entrepreneurs around the world. - The Star Ledger

Live the Art is anything but the average coffee table book...the book features photos of about two-thirds of all projects exhibited at the space, but is satisfyingly text-heavy... - Surface

Buy the book...it's fitting that a new Stefan Sagmeister- designed coffee-table tome celebrating Deitch Projects' 15-year run comes equipped with a plastic plate that suggests readers literally dine off it. - Wall Street Journal

Part visual gag, part nostalgia trip, all legacy-builder, Live the Art memorializes the seminal arts-and-entertainment mecca...the book perfectly sets the table for Deitch's third act-whatever that may be. - Departures

It's a kind of art history memoir; told as a visual essay... - New York Magazine

Autumn brings a fresh, fascinating crop of art, architecture, and design releases. This is one of our favorites. - Architectural Digest
