| | 1. |  | Collections of Nothing
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $7.77
Customer Review:
I LOVED this book from page one. One measure of a book is whether the reader sees some of himself. I saw more than I wanted to! Highly recommended, and now linked to on my blog "Dull Tool Dim Bulb" (which I'm sure the author would enjoy, maybe a bit too much) Fortunately, I learned how to part with... more info

| | 3. |  | I Bought Andy Warhol
from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $6.47
Customer Review:
Being an artist, I really got a charge out of seeing the buyers' side of the art world.
Andy Warhol is my favorite artist so, needless to say, the title caught my eye and I HAD to buy it. The book reminded me of little boys who buy and trade baseball cards. It's made the business side of the... more info

| | 5. |  | The Art Crowd
from IUniverse
Price: $18.92
Customer Review:
This book may have been written decades ago, but the issues are still the same. What does it mean for someone to be an artist? Do you just do what you're told or follow some inner vision? If you follow your vision and you don't make money, does that make you wrong? If suddenly you start making... more info

| | 7. |  | False Impressions
from Touchstone
Price: $13.52
Customer Review:
Art fakes and how to detect them - a fascinating subject. Hoving has all the credentials and experience, yet his book is disappointing. A gee-whiz journalistic style, plenty of chutzpah and bragging, some snide comments about colleagues and competitors, gossip here and there among the name-dropping.... more info

| | 8. |  | Collecting Contemporary
from Taschen
Price: $97.00
Customer Review:
I loved this book! Nicely written, easy to refer to, good mixture of examples. If you're going to buy a work of art because you like it, or because you hope it'll grow in value have a read. No book will change the colour of your wall-paper, or give you prophetic foresight into the future value of... more info

| | 9. |  | The Cultures of Collecting
from Harvard University Press
Price: $24.50
Customer Review:
There are a number of essays in this book that makes it worth reading. My favorites are:
1. The System of Collecting by Jean Baudrillard - " (collections) constitute themselves as a system, on the basis of which the subject seeks to piece together his world . . ."
2. Collecting and... more info
