ReviewsA brilliant study about the private rules and regulations that help create trust in the market for fine art. Full of interesting examples and history, this book will be of interest to law and economics scholars and anyone interested in how art markets function. Highly recommended., A masterful tour through the hidden world of lost art. Through fascinating case studies, Shorrtland subtly and persuasively teaches important lessons about the role of institutions and economics., Few markets are more glamorous--or more perilous--than the market for art. With billions of dollars transacted internationally and no shortage of crooks eager to grab their share, small armies would seem necessary to make the art market work. Yet remarkably, Shortland shows, its success owes mostly to private institutions, chief among them the Art Loss Register. Lost Art i s a fabulous and fascinating investigation of the governance mechanisms that make the art market tick.
