DECEPTION IS A FINE ART. When Orlando Whitfield first meets Inigo Philbrick, they are students dreaming of dealing art for a living. Their friendship lasts for fifteen years until one day, Inigo - by then the most successful dealer of his generation - disappears, accused of a fraud so gigantic and audacious it rocks the art world to its core.

A sparklingly sharp memoir of greed, ambition and madness, All That Glitters will take you to the heart of the contemporary art world, a place wilder and wealthier than you could ever imagine.©2024 Orlando Whitfield (P)2024 Profile Books Ltd Art Inspiring Thought-Provoking

This book has been quiet book and a rollercoaster all in one .
The great thing being , that it shows you behind the scenes of a world you know is there but not the nuts and bolts of that world
I thought though the narration wasn’t overly exciting , suited the book .
Congratulations Mr Whitfield .
