Description

Upfront, street savvy, and enthralling, Inside the Art Market traces the history and growth of Australia’s private and independent galleries since 1956. In this book, Christopher Heathcote shares the inside story of how private art galleries have assisted our leading artists to gain public attention and how a cluster of trailblazing gallery owners including Kym Bonython, Rudy Komon, Anne and Tam Purves, Terry Clune, Barry Stern, Georges Mora and Frank Watters, transformed the business of selling art.
