All That Glitters by Orlando Whitfield
BookBar says: When art dealer Inigo Philbrick was charged with degrauding his clients of millions of pounds, his best friend and former business partener Orlando Whitfield set out to discover the truth. A real life Goldfinch, this extraordinary story about power and corruption in the art world reads like a thriller. Perfect for the culture vulture and the true story lover.
Deception is a fine art. When Orlando Whitfield first meets Inigo Philbrick, they are students dreaming of dealing art for a living. Their friendship lasts for fifteen years until one day, Inigo - by then the most successful dealer of his generation - disappears, accused of a fraud so gigantic and audacious it rocks the art world to its core.
A sparklingly sharp memoir of greed, ambition and madness, All That Glitters will take you to the heart of the contemporary art world, a place wilder and wealthier than you could ever imagine.
