ALL THAT GLITTERS: A STORY OF FRIENDSHIP, FRAUD AND FINE ART
BY ORLANDO WHITFIELD
When Orlando Whitfield first meets Inigo Philbrick, they are students dreaming of dealing art for a living. Their friendship lasts for fifteen years until one day, Inigo — by then the most successful dealers of his generation — disappears, accused of one of the largest frauds in the history of the art market.
A sparkling memoir of greed, ambition and madness, All That Glitters tells a story of corruption and downfall at the heart of the contemporary art market, while also painting an intimate portrait of a complicated friendship and its loss.
