The Art Market (1884)

Recommended by Lily

Ripping through this 1984 book of interviews with art dealers, from old guard Peggy Guggenheim and Betty Parsons to the next wave of Paula Cooper and Mary Boone. Fascinating to see how the early art world of downtown was so shaped by women. Prescient and fascinating to read how our current market was presaged by the punk approach of this period.
