'Breakfast at Sotheby's' by Philip Hook is a witty and engaging study of the phenomenon of art and its commercial value. At the heart of the famous English art historian, who has dedicated more than thirty years to working at the auction house 'Sotheby's', is the secret of the popularity of individual artists and creative directions, the relationships between artists and models, stories of notorious thefts and forgeries. How much does it cost? Why does a work become an 'icon'? Which of the artists managed to create their own brand? Is it possible to protect oneself from forgeries? How was the 'Mona Lisa' stolen? Philip Hook will guide the reader through the labyrinths of the art market and offer his own answers to these and many other questions.
