The book chronicles the transformation of the London art market, sparked by a groundbreaking 1958 Sotheby's auction of Impressionist masterpieces. This event not only established London as the art capital but also marked a shift in power from dealers to auctioneers. The narrative explores the fierce competition between Sotheby's and Christie's, the surge in art prices, and the ensuing scandals. Through engaging storytelling, it highlights a diverse cast of characters who shaped this vibrant market, culminating in the rise of contemporary art and the opening of Tate Modern in 2000.
