Boogie-Woogie by Danny Moynihan
A blackly hilarious satirical novel of great black humour, Boogie Woogie plunges deep into the dark excesses of the international art scene of the 1990s. Driven by the pursuit for a hugely valuable twentieth-century masterpiece, the appetites and morality of the art world' are acidly revealed as sex, money, drugs and art all converge in a hothouse of obsession and ambition. As dealers, collectors, artists and wannabees vie with one other for recognition by peers and the public, success and failure rest on a knife-edge, with every player willing to do whatever it takes to reach the top...
"'A witty and painfully accurate portrait of the art world in a beautifully constructed taleNo sleep for you the night you open it!' Charles Saatchi"
Danny Moynihan has had first-hand experience of the art world, both in New York and London. He has curated shows for a number of artists, managed galleries and exhibited his own work. Boogie Woogie is his first novel and he has written and produced the forthcoming film. He lives in London.
