A Hedonist’s guide to Art shines a light on both the little-known and the wilder shores of contemporary art, affording us a peek inside the machinations of the gilded beast we have come to know as the ‘Art World’. Here you’ll not only learn how to build up a collection of works and spend your money wisely, but also how to amass a collection of experiences that would make the most robust of extroverts blush. Under the (occasionally) expert stewardship of 60 people in the know – artists, curators, gallerists, auctioneers, art school tutors, collectors, critics and professional hangers-on – this journey will take you from the art fair to the gallery to the auction house to the studio visit, then right on up to the rooftop swimming pools of the most debauched after-show parties that have ever been.
