I didn't, but the author of
i sold Andy Warhol. (too soon) did. Richard Polsky writes about his life and times as an art rep in the rarefied art world. What a job. It's turned into a business with the art as commodity rather than art. There is so much to think about here. Are the great modern and contemporary artists really good? (some are) Is the art worth that much? (when art is a commodity, it's worth what the buyer will pay and the seller will take) Is this high end art honest? Hmmm....Is this high end art honest.
Richard is a so so writer, and there is something to learn here. He has watched the art world in it's transformation, and he's gone along with it, but knows that something innocent has been lost. Although I like the pink cover, the cover art could have been better.
