Education comes to you in a fictional read with this murder mystery by Mark Sublette, former physician, art collector and art dealer with galleries in both Arizona and New Mexico.
Paintings by number is a concept guaranteed to cause any art snob you know, me included, to grimace or wince. The book Paint by Numbers is terrific !!! Sublette reveals the underpinnings of our industry in the course of the story. I challenge even the most jaded of our community to find it a satisfying read.
Evidently his next story is already in the works. While I appreciate mysteries, a savvy collector needs to comprehend the role of each of the players, their interdependencies–be it the artist, the art dealer, the auction house personnel, the critics, etc.
