The Art of the Steal is the only book that tells the whole truth about the price-fixing scandal that rocked the auction world and put one of America's richest men behind bars. It's the story of billionaire tycoon Alfred Taubman; the most powerful woman in the art world, Dede Brooks; and the wily British executive Christopher Davidge - who cheated their clients out of millions until federal prosecutors put a stop to their high-end thievery. Brilliantly writtne by Christopher Mason this is an unprecedented and hugely fascinating look inside this secretive and glamorous industry.
