Sally Eckhoff, a painter and former critic for the Village Voice, wrote the East Village memoir F*ck Art (Let’s Dance) to answer the lack of true-life stories of artists in contemporary life; one critic terms it “A Sentimental Education remixed by The Cramps.” Sally Eckhoff lives and works in Philadelphia, PA and Bolton Landing, NY.
