Memories of a London Fine Art Dealer by Alexander Wengraf
Memories of a London Art Dealer is the distillation of a lifetime’s experience and expertise in the art world. Neither an autobiography nor a traditional memoir, the book consists of reflections, anecdotes, telling conversations, encounters, touches of humour and a choice selection of the triumphs and disasters, heroes and villains encountered by an accidental art dealer.
"Reading the book is like being seated in a leather wingback chair at a club, listening to an affable chap recount his favourite anecdotes. . . This is an enjoyable canter through a veteran dealer's memories, light on details and warmly diverting." * Alexander Adams Art *
