First Printing - The Art Game by Robert Wraight (1966) Vintage Hardcover Book
“In the meantime it remains true that there is no business like the art business. In its more speculative aspects today's art market may resemble the stock market, but there is one important difference. There is nothing like the Securities and Exchange Commission to keep a watchful eye on the buying and selling, the advertising and the promoting of art.”
Wraight’s The Art Game both teaches and entertains. It tells you how, if you work at it, you can find your own place in the art scene among the often seedy cast of industry characters.
