Where the Real Story Begins
If you’ve read A No-Nonsense Guide to Buying Art, you already understand how the system works.
This is where that knowledge came from.
For over four decades, I’ve worked inside the art world—buying, selling, negotiating, and navigating a system most collectors never truly see.
These are the real stories behind that experience.
Not theory. Not opinion.
Experience.
This first volume is the beginning of that story.
