About this ebook

Painter Betrayals exposes the often-shadowy intersection of art and finance, revealing how financial incentives can corrupt artistic integrity and distort our understanding of art history. The book argues that the art world, far from being a realm of pure expression, is deeply intertwined with power dynamics and financial interests that can lead to ethical compromises, like the manipulation of art valuations for profit. It uncovers the duplicitous relationships between artists, collectors, and investors, showing how exploitation and fraud can thrive. For example, the book examines instances where an artist's market value is deliberately inflated through coordinated buying, or forgeries are knowingly sold as masterpieces, impacting market regulation and public perception.

The book adopts a narrative nonfiction style, presenting complex information in an accessible way, combining art historical analysis with financial modeling. It is structured in three parts, beginning with an introduction of the key players, then delving into case studies of specific betrayals. The final section analyzes the implications of these betrayals, offering suggestions for greater transparency in the art world. Readers gain insights into art market manipulation, art finance, and the significance of financial incentives in art.
