Revue de presse :

An astringently witty tour of Manhattan's extravagantly booming auction houses, pricey little galleries and their glitzy hinterland. En route, modish fads and fraudulence, vacuous collectors, dubious sales-room operators and artists who are dab hands at self-promotion are deftly impaled. (Peter Kemp SUNDAY TIMES)

Effortlessly stylish ... Martin is so multitalented as to make you sick (Alfred Hickling GUARDIAN)

Told with charm and pizzaz (Emma Hagestadt INDEPENDENT)
