Reading this book is like having your own spy in the art world A thorough insight into the contemporary art world through seven fascinating stories ... a must-have for all art buffs Curators and dealers provide the insider info and often the laughs, as the closed world of art is systematically demystified An excellent, vivid, wittily written book - the characters are tightly drawn, the events covered are important, and the aphorisms come thick and fast - I'm hoping for a second volume Fascinating, not least because while she was researching and writing, it must have seemed like an insider's view of a world that would last forever.
