Reseña del libro "Gallery Confidential (en Inglés)"
What's really happening behind the scenes in the high-stakes art world?Steven Maier shares his hair-raising and often hilarious stories from his 40+ years as an art dealer to the stars and to the not-so-starry. From Janet Jackson to Anthony Quinn, from Dali to Picasso, he's seen it all and shares his true-life encounters and rollicking adventures in a no-holds-barred expose."Like One Thousand and One Nights, Maier's 100 stories of the art world are part audacious expose, part memoir, and part history of four crazy decades filled with Hollywood stars, scoundrels, artistic geniuses, and hustlers. For a thrilling, sometimes sad, and always entertaining inside look at the art world, read Gallery Confidential."-Charles Levin, Amazon Bestselling Author of the NOT SO DEAD TrilogyHow does a creative young man go from being a decorative house painter to becoming a successful art dealer traveling the world and then finding a third career as the artist Sonny Pops, Hawaii's Ambassador of Nu'u Pop?As Maier says, Gallery Confidential is a dog-eared survival manual.

What do you do when you face adversity, like opening your dream art gallery a week before 9/11, and fail? How do you pick yourself back up? How do you carry $200,000 in cash on an airplane? The answer to these questions and more resonate in the lively anecdotes that make up the life of a man well-lived.Pick up your copy of Gallery Confidential today.
