Etat : As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Tod Volpe possessed an exceptional eye for art and a talent for conversation that propelled him from a modest gallery in Soho into the lives of celebrities like Jack Nicholson, Barbra Streisand, and Madonna. While he appeared to embody the American Dream, his extravagant lifestyle ultimately led to self-destruction and incarceration in an 8x10 foot cell. At the peak of his success, Volpe became embroiled in a notorious art fraud case, represented by high-profile attorneys Nathan and Alan Dershowitz. His conviction made international headlines, exposing the hidden world of art dealing. The book provides an insider's perspective on the global art market, revealing practices such as money laundering, trading with drug dealers, tax evasion, and fraudulent insurance claims. It chronicles Volpe's dramatic downfall and how he learned that losing touch with one's true self can lead to emptiness. Despite losing everything, he gained a second chance to rebuild his life. A self-made man from Yonkers, Volpe graduated with honors in Fine Arts from New York University and established a successful gallery in Soho, becoming a prominent dealer known for rediscovering lost masterpieces. He is now working on his second book, The Sandman, while continuing to pursue his dreams in New York. N° de réf. du vendeur c52e9a4b-9219-426c-8c8c-b65e2d5ecda0

Cloth. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Framed. Tales of the Art Underworld. Slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. Brought up in a working class family on the outskirts of New York City, the author was a tailor's sone with an appetite for the finer things in life, a former undertaker who rose from obscurity to become a tastemaker to the Hollywood glitterati including Jack Nicholson, Barbara Streisand, Bruce Willis, Matrix producer Joel Silver, Andy Warhol, Paul Stanley of KISS abd many more. Referred to as 'The oracle' for two decades, he created a global feeding frency in the art world. Appearing to live the American Dream, his high-maintenance, wheeler-dealer lifestyle became a dark path to self-destruction. At the height of his success Volpe crashed and burned in a scandalous caase of fraud. Defended by learding attorney's Nathan and Alan Dershowitz (of Claus von Bulow trial fame), his story made international headlines and threatened to blow the lid of Hollywood and the secret world of art dealing in a star-studded trial. Opting instead to remain silent, he pleaded guilty and spent two years in a federal prison. As a master player in the art underworld, Volpe is able to draw back the curtain to revea how auctions, dealers, collectors and museums manoeuvre art around the globe, and he talks candidly about organized crime, money laundering and trafficking art like drugs. Seduced by the power of illusion but determined to discover the truth, Volpe learned the hard way that nothing on earth is worth the price of your soul. After losing everything he realised that, when you deceive yourself, life is a pictureless frame.
