Reader’s Diary

Richard Polsky

This memoir is an amusing series of anecdotes about the art business of the 80′s loosely organized around the author’s quest for a Warhol painting that he could afford.  I’m not a Warhol fan and not fond of modern art, but I enjoyed Polsky’s stories, many of which left me wondering how some of of these dealers manage to stay in business.  It’s about buying, selling, dealing, partying, and posturing.
