PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Richard Dorment has had a distinguished career as historian, scholar, journalist and exhibition curator. He was the Chief Art Critic at the Daily Telegraph from 1986 until his retirement in 2015. Among his many publications are catalogues of exhibitions that have been seen in London, Paris and Washington DC. A frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books, his work has appeared in the Burlington Magazine, the Times Literary Supplement, and Literary Review. In 2014 he was awarded a CBE for Services to the Arts.
Art critic Richard Dorment brings to vivid and fearsome life the characters in a protracted and hugely expensive legal battle over the authenticity of a Warhol print * The Observer * A pacy legal thriller, packed with a colourful cast of characters * The Telegraph * In lucid prose, Dorment distils ideas that have dominated art theory for decades . . . The tale could easily have been arcane and legalistic in the telling, but Dorment disentangles the thicket of names, emails, off-the-cuff remarks, snatches of gossip and deposition transcripts with mastery * The Spectator * Funny, erudite and knowledgeable, Dorment enlivens what, by his own admission, is “an esoteric dispute on a rarefied subject” . . . This book feels germane to our cultural moment * Financial TImes *
