"Art not just for arts' sake" according to Karl Dettmer. In this interesting and enlightening book, Lee Seldes takes us into a world few of us will ever know. Most of us go to museums and enjoy the works, but we never think of the wheeling and dealing behind it. Seldes first shows us the troubled artist, then shows how greedy individuals will do whatever they need to to scam, lie and steal to increase their bank accounts and inflate the price. Real-world Dickensian Courtroom Drama disco75 This compelling tale reflects nearly unbelievable hubris, chicanery, and recklessness in the art world that would make a terrific film if it weren't such a sad legacy for the Rothko family.In the first half of the book Seldes details the tragic elements of Rothko's choices in her fine biography of the artist that is far more succinct than Breslin's tome, then in the second half plays ou.

At the time of Mark Rothko's apparent suicide in 1970, the deeply troubled, pioneering artist of Abstract Expressionism was at the height of fame and financial success; yet within months of the funeral, his three trusted friends, acting as executors, relinquished his entire legacy of 800 paintings to the powerful, international Marlborough Galleries (run by Frank Lloyd) for a fraction of their real worth on terms suspiciously unfavorable to the estate
