Opis

'Breakfast at Sotheby's' is a wry, intimate, truly revealing exploration of how art acquires its financial value, from Philip Hook, a senior director at Sotheby's.

Recenzje

Hook's view of the art world is that of the professional auctioneer. In an A-Z format, it is an entire art education contained in under 350 pages. Wry, dry and completely beguiling William Boyd Guardian, Books of the Year 2013
