Offering an insider's look at the exciting modern art scene, this guide dishes out revealing stories and memorable encounters with the rich and famous--including Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Oprah Winfrey, and Luciano Pavarotti--as well as situations the author would rather forget, such as when a famous rock star tried to seduce her. Rich with personal insights and recollections, this entertaining account also offers a wealth of practical advice on how to successfully appraise and purchase fine art, furniture, antiques, and jewelry without getting cheated, whether in the United States or abroad. Tips on how to successfully sell acquisitions are also featured.
