Giveaway: Books from the Art World
The Art World Giveaway
books about artists and art museums
I like to read books tied to the art world. It makes sense, right? I work at an art museum, I studied art history at university, and every once in a while I like to bust out the ol’ paintbox. Naturally books about artists or set in museum galleries are right up my alley.
But it’s time to share some of these books with another reader. I’m giving away a three-pack of novels that are all somehow tied to the art world:
Asunder by Chloe Aridjis: a woman who works in London’s National Gallery as a security guard
A Nearly Perfect Copy by Allison Amend: an art authenticator working for an auction house gets caught up in a forgery scandal
The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova: a psychiatrist tries to solve the mystery of why a famous artist slashed a painting hanging in the National Gallery in Washington DC
