On 15 October 1958 Sothebys of Bond Street staged an event sale of Impressionist paintings from the collection of an American banker, Erwin Goldschmidt: three Manets, two Cézannes, one Van Gogh and a Renoir. Movie stars and other celebrities attended in black tie and saw the seven lots go for 781,000 at the time the highest price for a single art sale.</p><p>Overnight, London became the world centre of the art market and Sothebys an international auction house. The event signalled a shift in power from dealers to auctioneers and pointed the way for Impressionist paintings to dominate the market for the next forty years. In this climate Sothebys and Christies became a great business duopoly as aggressive, dominant and competitive in the field of art sales as Pepsi and Coca-Cola were in soft drinks. The resulting expansion of the market was accompanied by rocketing prices, colourful scandals and legal dramas. Over the decades, London transformed itself from a place of old master sales to a revitalised centre of contemporary art, a process crowned by the opening of Tate Modern in 2000.</p><p>James Stourton tells the story of the London art market from the immediate postwar period to the turn of the millennium in engaging and fast-paced style, populating his richly entertaining narrative with a glorious rogues gallery of clever amateurs, eccentric scholars, brilliant emigrés, cockney traders and grandees with a flair for the deal.</p>...7057949Rogues and Scholars297412https://www.gandhi.com.mx/rogues-and-scholars-9781035912308/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7022233/image.jpg?v=638790483672470000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20249781035912308_W3siaWQiOiJlZjc4YTM1My1kN2U4LTQ4OGItYWYyOC03YjZlNDU2ODY2ODYiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQxMSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjExNSwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjoyOTYsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI1LTA2LTE1VDE5OjAwOjAwWiIsInRvIjoiMjAyNS0wNi0zMFQyMzo1OTo1OVoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlLCJpc0VsaWdpYmxlRm9yQ3JlZGl0VHJpYWwiOmZhbHNlfSx7ImlkIjoiNGE2MzJlYmYtOWVkMy00MGM3LWFhZTktZWU0NGU3NmFmMGQ0IiwibGlzdFByaWNlIjo0MTIsImRpc2NvdW50IjoxMTUsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6Mjk3LCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNS0wNy0wMVQwMDowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlLCJpc0VsaWdpYmxlRm9yQ3JlZGl0VHJpYWwiOmZhbHNlfV0=9781035912308_<p>Bloomsbury presents <em>Rogues and Scholars: Boom and Bust in the London Art Market, 19452000</em> by James Stourton, read by Charles Armstrong.</p><p>The modern art market was born on a single night.
