ROGUES AND SCHOLARS--A History of the London Art World: 1945-2000

Tells the story of the London art market from the immediate postwar period to the turn of the millennium. While Sotheby's is the lynchpin of this story, Stourton populates his narrative with a glorious rogue's gallery of eccentric scholars, clever amateurs, brilliant emigres, and stylish grandees with a flair for the deal. 16 pages of photos, some in color.
