Boom: Mad Money, Mega Dealers, and the Rise of Contemporary Art

A history of the contemporary art market told through its dealers, the tastemakers who back emerging artists and steer their careers. Traces the rise of the market's most prominent figures, Larry Gagosian, David Zwirner, Arne and Marc Glimcher, and Iwan Wirth, alongside dozens of others including Irving Blum and Gavin Brown, from the early galleries on 57th Street through SoHo's rise in the 1960s to Chelsea's emergence as a gallery hub. Draws on artists including Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, and Cy Twombly to trace how dealers built and shaped the market around them. By Vanity Fair contributing editor Michael Shnayerson.
