"""Anyone interested in the art market, either simply as a consumer of art or an investor, should read this book. Especially those who consider art objects as also potential investment tools should find this book particularly useful."" — Vito Tanzi, Honorary President of the International Institute of Public Finance (IIPF), Munich, Germany ""Andy Warhol famously said: ""Making money is art, and working is art, and good business is the best art"". In this lively book, Andres Solimano writes about how aesthetics meets money, how this intimate relationship evolved, and what the future holds in turbulent times."" — Tony Addison, Professor, Development Economics Research Group, University of Copenhagen."
