About the Book
Spanning a period from September 2009 to February 2013 this is the first volume of essays collected from James Merrick's blog With One Eye on the Road. It covers subjects such as the artwork which became less valuable when it was discovered not to be a fake, the gallery cleaner who mistook a priceless work of art for a stain on a piece of wood, and the policeman who, when asked to follow a suspicious character, did so for twenty minutes before realising he was following himself.
Merrick casts his eye over contemporary art, culture and new technologies, reviewing exhibitions, responding to newspaper stories, showing a passion for his subject whilst always looking for a glimpse of the absurd.
