1.Collections of NothingCollections 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

2.The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy s Tomb Raiders to the World s Greatest MuseumsThe Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums
from PublicAffairs
Price: $1.58

Customer Review:
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about stolen antiquities. It reads like a thriller - it does have a lot of details, as others have mentioned, and the authors do become very indignant at times, but I believe this is because the book was published a few years ago,... more info

3.I Bought Andy WarholI 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

4.The Intrepid Art Collector: The Beginner s Guide to Finding, Buying, and Appreciating Art on a BudgetThe Intrepid Art Collector: The Beginner's Guide to Finding, Buying, and Appreciating Art on a Budget
from Three Rivers Press
Price: $7.87

Customer Review:
There are lots of books with pictures of art, not so many on what it takes to build a good collection, for the ordinary person. You don't have to be J Paul Getty to buy art that is pleasing and makes a good investment. Lisa Hunter's book is by far the best book I have ever read on this subject.

5.The Art CrowdThe 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

6.In Flagrante Collecto (Caught in the Act of Collecting)In Flagrante Collecto (Caught in the Act of Collecting)
from "Harry N. Abrams, Inc."
Price: $29.35

Customer Review:
This is the best book I have found on Collecting. The writer gets into the state of mind of a collector, then presents profusely illustrated collections of an almost unbelievable scope. Like - you mean people really collect THIS? Yes they do and it's there. COOL book that will broaden your horizon -... more info

7.False ImpressionsFalse 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 ContemporaryCollecting 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 CollectingThe 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

from Collins Design
Price: $7.26

Customer Review:
I've just started exploring art collection and discovered this book. I thought the book had some great advice about how to get started thinking about what art I want to collect and why. As the author says "art should be fun." After reading this book I realized that my approach was all wrong, I was... more info
