Sothebys Concise Encyclopedia of Porcelain

1 review

Chancellor, 1998

Not an encyclopedia!
This is a narrative history of porcelain, lavishly illustrated. It covers only porcelain, not other forms of ceramics. It focuses on wares that I would consider exclusively museum quality. The illustrations are gorgeous. The text is gracefully written and thoroughly informative. Although it is not arranged topically as a real encyclopedia would be, it does have a marvelous glossary at the ...

Best Appellation book around

Real treat
Excellent book. Piles of facts, sharp analysis. One can learn more about art market from the book than from years of studies. Apart from it - pleasant reading.

The Art of the Steal: Inside the Sotheby's-Christie's Auction House Scandal

Berkley Trade, 2005

High society shows its greed in Mason's book
A great description of New York high life amidst one of the biggest money scandals of recent memory. Mason keeps the pace fast and sizzling. Lots of colorful details of the characters of high society and the art world make this a fast paced read. He even kees the business and legal side of the story scintilating. It kept me up late into the nights. A must read!
