Book excerpt: A thrilling, eye-popping look at true crime in the billion-dollar art world. The art world is one of the most secretive of global businesses, and the list of its crimes runs long and deep. Today, with prices in the hundreds of millions for individual artworks, and billionaires' collections among the most conspicuous and liquid of their assets, crime is more rampant than ever in this largely unregulated universe. Increased prices and globalization have introduced new levels of fraud and malfeasance into the art world--everything from "artnapping," in which an artwork is held hostage and only returned for a ransom, to forgery and tax fraud. However, the extent of the economic and cultural damage that results from criminality in the global art scene rarely comes to light. The stories of high-stakes, brazen art crimes told by art experts Stefan Koldehoff and Tobias Timm are by turns thrilling, disturbing, and unbelievable (the imagination for using art to commit crimes seems boundless). The authors also provide a well-founded analysis of what needs to change in the art market and at museums. From the authors of False Pictures, Real Money (about the Beltracchi art forgery case), Art and Crime includes a chapter on art owned by Donald Trump. It is a thoroughly researched, explosive, and highly topical book that uncovers the extraordinary and multifarious thefts of art and cultural objects around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Looking Up surveys spectacular ceilings around the globe that have been graced by the brushes of great artists including Michelangelo, Marc Chagall and Cy Twombly. From the floating women and lotus flowers of the Senso-ji Temple in Japan, to the religious iconography that adorns places of worship from Vienna to Istanbul, all the way to bold displays like the Chihuly glass flora suspended from the lobby of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas: this book takes you on a tour of the extraordinary artworks that demand an alternative viewpoint. History of art expert Catherine McCormack guides you through the stories behind the artworks – their conception, execution, and the artists that visualised them. In many cases, these artworks also make bold but controlled political, religious or cultural statements, revealing much about the society and times in which they were created. Divided by these social themes into four sections – Religion, Culture, Power and Politics – and pictured from various viewpoints in glorious colour photography, tour the astounding ceilings of these and more remarkable locations: Vatican Palace, Rome, Italy Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, UK Louvre Museum, Paris, France Dali Theatre-Museum, Figueres, Catalonia Museum of the Revolution, Havana, Cuba Capitol Building, Washington, DC, USA Four eight-page foldout sections showcase some of the world's most spectacular ceilings in exquisite detail. First and foremost, this is a visual feast, but also a desirable art book that challenges you to seek out fine art in more unusual places and question the statements they may be making.

Book excerpt: "Buying art and collectibles is a passion for Americans. From the imposing sales rooms at Sotheby's to the local swap meet, we all search for objects that are interesting or will increase in value over time (hopefully, both). But few of us know where to go to learn our legal rights and remedies when buying or selling art and collectibles. For example, what if a work of art turns out to be a fake? Or a "rare" stamp or coin isn't as rare as the dealer said? When buying or selling through auction houses, can you negotiate the commission and other terms? Are insurance and other expenses related to art or collectibles tax deductible? This book answers those questions and many, many others, and gives the reader a good working knowledge of legal aspects of buying and selling art and collectibles"--

Book excerpt: Written 100 years ago, The Art Spirit by Robert Henri is most influential book for artists, and especially American artists. It still remains one of the best selling books on art and creativity, and it attracts new readers with every generation. Henri with the assistance of Margery Ryerson prepared this book from four decades of his lecture notes and hundreds of letters to students and friends. The Art Spirit deserves to be in every artist's library.Although Henri offers practical advice on painting, the book is not just about how to do art, but how to become an artist. For Henri, there was no greater human ambition than to be an artist. Although Henri's own life was not without challenges, especially financial ones, he does not dwell on his personal adversities. The book is a glorification of the artist's life, and how mundane difficulties pale to the joys of the artistic life. The Art Spirit provides insights into the mind of one of America's most influential artists and teachers, and the reader-artist comes away with an uplifting sense in what it means to be a part of the great "Brotherhood" of art. One of the problems of the original edition was that Henri was a frequent name-dropper. In this new edition, names and terms are annotated along with illustrations, making the read more informative and enjoyable. It is the best of The Art Spirit reprints.
