In the center of attention of the famous English art historian, an employee of the famous auction houses "Sotheby's" and "Christie's", not by hearsay familiar with the mysterious, hidden from the eyes of dilettantes life of the art market - the secret of popularity of individual artists and creative trends, the relationship between artists and models, the history of sensational kidnappings and forgeries.
