I suspect itโs due to the impending โno dealโ and to try to protect against import/exports?

Sorry - wasnโt suggesting that they were limited - just a good book and you can still get a signed copy.

The Don Thompson books are a fascinating insight into what goes on in auctions, high end buyers and the high end art world generally.
I've read the $12 million dollar shark and just started The Orange Balloon Dog.
There is one other The Supermodel and the Brillo Box that doesn't get quite as good reviews.
A short podcast/interview here; m.soundcloud.com/arttactic/author-don-thompon-on-his-latest-book-the-orange-balloon-dog
He is an excellent writer for those interested.

Recommended Art Books, by chichi carter on Dec 13, 2020 15:53:23 GMT 1, Here is one I enjoyed that covers a side of the art world you haven't mentioned (although the auction houses do have a role in it), 'Hot Art: Chasing Thieves and Detectives through the Secret World of Stolen Art' by Joshua Knelman.
The Thomas Crown Affair meets The Devil in the White City in this fast-paced true crime story of the seedy-underbelly of international art theft. A major work of investigative journalism, Hot Art is a globetrotting mystery filled with cunning and eccentric characters. Joshua Knelman spent four years immersing himself in the mysterious world of international art theft, travelling from Cairo to New York, London, Montreal and Los Angeles. He befriends the slippery Paul, a master art thief; and gets caught up in the world of Donald Hrycyk, a detective working on a shoestring budget to recover stolen art. Through alternating chapters focusing on Paul and an international network of detectives, the story of the thief and the detective unfolds, revealing the dramatic rise of international art theft.
Joshua Knelman's investigation finds there are only a handful of detectives, FBI agents and lawyers fighting a global battle against the thriving black market of international art theft estimated to be one of the largest in the world. Meanwhile, the chain of criminals moves from thugs on the street to multinational organized crime syndicates, to a global network of art dealers who wash the artworks' origins clean again. In a surprise ending, Knelman learns that corruption can appear in the unlikeliest places.

A well packed, interesting read that really guns through some of the myths about the business. It will make you quite cynical about the sales side of the business, but also recognises the genius of the creative side....
I can't quite remember, but I think it is the third on this list - 12mn stuffed shark. This whole list looks good though, I night pick up some more

I donโt know what it means but I have been buying pre-emerging, does that just mean not represented ? Anyway it sounds good so put me down for it, I now officially collect pre-emerging artists. Itโs the new grey, less F5ing, cheap and unflippable.
