Sinopsis

Famous Art Auctions explores the high-stakes world where art, finance, and prestige collide. It unveils the historical evolution of art auctions, from estate sales to today's global marketplaces, highlighting how these events serve as barometers for the entire art market, reflecting economic trends and influencing cultural value. The book argues that auctions are not mere transactions but complex performances involving artistic merit, financial speculation, and social status.

 
Did you know that celebrity provenance can significantly impact auction prices, or that online art auctions are reshaping how art is bought and sold? The book progresses from foundational concepts like art valuation and key players to detailed analyses of significant auctions throughout history, examining the economic conditions and marketing strategies behind their successes and failures. Major case studies include Impressionist, Modern, and contemporary art sales that set new market benchmarks.

 
By blending rigorous research with accessible storytelling, Famous Art Auctions offers insights into navigating the art market, making it valuable for both seasoned collectors and newcomers interested in art investment.

    Towards a New Architecture is a seminal work by the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, first published in 1923.
    
    Le Corbusier presents his vision for modern architecture, advocating for a break from traditional architectural forms and a move towards a more functional, rational, and utilitarian approach to design. The book is a manifesto for the principles that would later influence the International Style and modernist architecture.
    
    Le Corbusier argues that architecture should be shaped by the needs of modern society, particularly the advancements in technology, industry, and engineering. He calls for a design language that reflects these changes, emphasizing clean lines, open spaces, and the use of new materials such as steel and concrete. He famously promotes the idea of the "machine for living," where buildings should serve as efficient, functional spaces rather than decorative structures.
    Towards a New Architecture is a foundational text for modern architecture which has significantly influenced the development of the International Style, urban planning, and the way we think about the built environment today.

    "Go for the Jaws, stay for the Shaws." —Nat Segaloff, author of The Exorcist Legacy 
     
     
     
    Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, Jaws. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself. 
     
     
     
    Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality—including Robert's indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and his activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing. 
     
     
     
    Despite a storied career on the British and American stage—as both performer and playwright—and a string of hit films including From Russia with Love, A Man for All Seasons, The Sting, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, international celebrity eluded Robert . . . until he was summoned to star in "a little horror film" called Jaws.
