In straightforward prose that doesn't mystify art or deny its special allure, prominent art dealer and market expert Michael Findlay offers a close up and personal view of almost 50 years in the business of art. He engagingly explains art's three kinds of value: commercial; social; and what he terms its essential value - the range of responses to art that we as individuals have depending on our culture, education and life experience. Few avid collectors are immune to the thrill of rising market value, but Findlay argues that buying for investment alone is seldom smart. A genuine love of art and the ways it may enrich one's social life also play important roles. Down-to-earth and with a touch of dry wit, he explains exactly how artworks are valued and reveals the workings of the art market. Enhancing his narrative are wise advice, insider anecdotes and tales of scoundrels and scams, celebrity collectors and remarkable discoveries. Generously illustrated, Findlay's distillation of a lifetime's experience makes this insider's guide indispensable for all who love art, not only collectors but true "amateurs" as well.

本書像是作者對自己art dealer生涯的一個總結。很有啓發性。讓我通過insider的視角增進對art market的理解。也充滿著各種藝術市場的八卦~
評分都是大道理
評分要不是被assign瞭這本書的review真是都忘瞭當時同學藉給我之後好像就在我傢地上躺著直到大傢都從芝加哥滾蛋瞭。Michael Findlay字裏行間都是老派紳士的驕傲和傲嬌,除瞭列舉一些最基本普遍適用於藝術市場的道理其實更多是個人多年經驗的反思和分析。不過2012年之後全球藝術市場又不知道風雲變幻瞭多少輪,其實現在是時候更新再版瞭。
