"Breakfast at Sotheby's" Philip Hook - a witty and fascinating study of the phenomenon of art and its commercial value. 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. What is worth how much? Why does a work become an "icon"? Which of the artists managed to create their own brand? Is it possible to protect yourself from fakes? How was the Mona Lisa stolen? Philip Hook guides the reader through the labyrinths of the art market and offers his own answers to these and many other questions.
