The Art League Book Club Reads “Art Work” by Sally Mann

Art Work by photographer and writer Sally Mann is a candid, witty, and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to make a life in art. Written in the same fearless voice that made her memoir Hold Still so compelling, Mann shares stories, insights, and lessons drawn from her own experiences as an artist.

Through photographs, journal entries, and letters, Mann reflects on creativity, hard work, luck, rejection, risk-taking, and the choices that shape an artist’s path. Whether you’re a working artist, an art lover, or simply curious about the creative process, Art Work offers plenty to consider—and plenty to talk about.
