Sotheby’s. Inside story – Peter Watson Nieuw

Met reg. The author tells the story of his five-year investigation into Sotheby’s and of his discovery of practices that include: the facilitation of smuggling; the sale of antiquities known to have been stolen from tombs; the rigging of auctions by chandelier bidding; secret and dubious arrangements with a Japanese department store and with members of Iran’s ruling elite; and the rigging of the Art market index.
