Art dealers have played an essential role in the development of contemporary art, but most are scarcely known to the public, or known only by inaccurate stereotypes -- i.e., the journalistic picture of Leo Castelli as a manipulative Svengali who can sell anything. This book, a collection of reminiscences with fifty-five fine art dealers, works to correct those misconceptions and shed light on the dealer's intricate, fascinating, and difficult profession. The result is rich in high level gossip about the stellar figures of the art world, including Castelli, Betty Parsons, RichardBellamy, Wally Findlay, Barbara Gladstone, and Ivan Karp.
