Recenzii

The culture of discretion that enshrouds the art market obscures a multitude of sins, so it is bracing (and great fun) to watch Orlando Whitfield flout the code of silence to name names, cite prices, and reveal scams. ALL THAT GLITTERS is an art world GREAT GATSBY, deliciously withering and dishy, a parable about the price of beauty, the power of charisma, and the limits of friendship.
The art world revealed in this delicious, sharp and often breathtaking memoir is one of excess and illusion those of us outside it can barely imagine, and Whitfield unveils it nimbly and wisely. Funny, juicy, wistful and sad, it's destined to be one of the books of 2024
One of the hottest memoirs of 2024
A tremendous book. A fantastically entertaining and brutally honest account of the scurrility of the contemporary art world. A brilliant, devastating exposé
When high-flying art-dealer Inigo Philbrick was convicted of a multimillion-dollar fraud, it rocked the industry ... Whitfield details the web of deceit that led to his downfall
Packed with page-turning incident and colourful characters, Whitfield's eye-opening window into the glamorous, deceitful world of fine art is a thrilling story of greed, fraud and betrayal
A rip-roaring artworld exposé, All That Glitters is a true story of corruption and crime in the international art market from the perspective of the young men made greedy and duplicitous by it. Call it-The Wolf of Mayfair. In a world of counterfeits, phonies, and frauds, Orlando Whitfield is the real deal
Juicier than a bottle of Gamay at lunchtime and even more intoxicating, All That Glitters is an amazing takedown of a world that desperately needed taking down.
All That Glitters is a shocking, funny, and brilliantly written tour of the morally depraved art market. Whitfield writes blisteringly about the infantile excesses of wealth, and beautifully about art.
A gripping look at a high-octane collision of glamour, art and money
Sharp-eyed, knowing, witty, this one of a kind memoir is a treat. Whitfield may have burned his bridges to the glittery art world he skewers here, but his book shines with solid gold.
Thrillingly written
