Summaries and Reviews
Summary
Traces the author's twelve-year quest to own a Warhol painting that would best reflect the artist's essence, recounting his tour of galleries, auction houses, and private collections while revealing the factors that contributed to Warhol's celebrity and the prices of his works.
(view table of contents)Amazon.com description: Product Description: In 1987 art dealer Richard Polsky set aside $100,000 to purchase for his private collection a painting by famed Pop artist Andy Warhol - a process that took him 12 years. His journey, spanning the art world of the go-go 1980s to the recession of the 1990s, is recounted here. Artists, gallery owners, auction houses and collectors all play a role in this tale that illuminates not only Warhol the person - and his place in art history - but also the machinations and marketing that fuelled his celebrity, driving the price of his paintings to the top of the market. As an industry insider, Polsky reveals the relationships that make the art world go round. This book presents a behind-the-scenes look at that world - a look that reveals it to be filled with humour, hypocrisy, gossip, greed, manipulation and money.
