A Hedonist's Guide to Art

Here readers not only learn how to build up a collection of works and spend their money wisely, but also how to amass a collection of experiences that would make the most robust of extroverts blush. Under the (occasionally) expert stewardship of 60 people in the know — artists, curators, gallerists, auctioneers, art school tutors, collectors, critics, and professional hangers-on — this journey takes readers from the art fair to the gallery to the auction house to the studio visit, then right on up to the rooftop swimming pools of the most debauched after-show parties ever held.
