Product Description
Godfrey Barker, Literary Review
* 'It's a well researched, largely accurate, acute, sometimes very funny analysis of a company...'
Book Description
Stimulating and entertaining, Sotheby's brings to life the personalities and shrewd business sense that operate behind the glitz and glamour of the world's oldest and richest auction house. Reporting from within on famous sales of the recent past and charting the contribution of the succession of clever and colourful entrepreneurs who have known how to read the winds of economic change to sniff out the deals of the moment, Robert Lacey brilliantly shows how Sotheby's responds to a much greater need than that of connoisseurs buying works of art: the bidding for class.
