Praise for Seven Days in the Art World
"A field guide to the nomadic tribes of the contemporary art world. The book was reported and written in a heated art market, but it is poised to endure as a work of sociology."
- Mia Fineman, New York Times Book Review
"The best book yet written about the modern-art boom . . . a Robert Altmanesque panorama of the most important cultural phenomenon of the last ten years."
- Ben Lewis, Sunday Times (UK)
"Thornton offers an indelible portrait of a peculiar society, simultaneously cutthroat and curious . . . glamorous yet filled with people who would have been unpopular in high school."
- Leslie Camhi, Vogue
"An entertaining and lucid account of the mysterious ways of contemporary art. . . . [Thornton] does well to resist the temptation to draw any glib, overarching conclusions. There is more than enough in her rigorous, precise reportage . . . for the reader to make his or her own connections."
- Peter Aspden, Financial Times (UK)
"An intelligently written . . . refreshingly open-minded exploration."
- Jonathan Keats, Washington Post
"A terrific book-detailed, gossipy, and insightful. . . . By the end of the book, you almost understand how [Steve] Cohen could shell out $8 million for a rotting 14-foot shark pickled in formaldehyde."
- Thane Peterson, BusinessWeek
"A one-stop tutorial on an often insular subculture. . . . [L]ight-hearted but sociologically acute."
- Gilbert Cruz, Time
"Finely wrought and thoroughly researched . . . [with] an ingenious structure . . . and spot-on characterizations. . . . The author draws readers into the experience . . . [with her] infectious curiosity and meticulous reporting."
- Annie Buckley, Artweek
