My Brief Book Reviews

I have completely read these books and so I think that they are really good - unless I have made comments otherwise. (Other opinions may vary!)

Portrait of Dr. Gachet: The Story of a Van Gogh Masterpiece, Money, Politics, Collectors, Greed, and Loss

by Cynthia Saltzman

It follows the painting from when it was made until it was put in a Japanese vault in 1990 after it fetched the highest price for a work of art at the time - 89.4 million dollars.

(Since then, there have been many paintings that have been bought at a much higher price.)
