What Robert Altman's film "Prêt-à-Porter" was for the fashion world, Sarah Thornton's book is for the world of the enormous booming contemporary art market: What rules operate by it? Who decides which artist becomes one of the truly great (and very expensive) artists? What drives the collectors and the gallery owners—and what does all this mean for art and the artists themselves?

Using the tools of an ethnologist, Sarah Thornton explores this unique world of creativity, taste, and power, of status, hope, money, and intrigue. She has spoken with over 250 insiders, artists, gallerists, critics, curators, and collectors, and as a critical observer, she herself became part of the art world for a time.

Her book is a vivid portrayal of the people and institutions that are writing the art history of the future, peppered with intelligent gossip.
