Reviews

Art of the Deal is a crucial book on art and finance. --Blake Gopnik, Daily Beast [T]he precision and lucidity with which Mr. Horowitz describes the commercialization of art should garner appeal for his book across a broad swath of market participants. For the rest of us, it is an enjoyable glimpse into the opaque corners of the art community. --Benjamin R. Mandel, Journal of Cultural Economics Horowitz has provided readers with a very thorough and wide-ranging analysis of the contemporary art market that brings an unprecedented complexity to this discussion. His synthesis of the literature on the topic is sophisticated yet lucid and the book is exceptionally well researched, supported by countless citations. --John Zarobell, Tabula Quarterly I thoroughly enjoyed this critical account of the global contemporary art economy; Noah Horowitz has a real understanding of the inner workings of the market. The fact that he chose to focus on video and experiential art renders his account unique and gives even the seasoned reader interesting insights. I appreciated his analysis of the markets for these practices, which is unusual in this sort of literature. --Thaddaeus Ropac, Art Newspaper
