I just finished All That Glitters and I give it 🖌🖌🖌.
This is Whitfield's memoir of working in the art industry (love) and his friendship with Inigo Philbrick, another art dealer (confusing). Philbrick (this isn't a spoiler) gets convicted of an art crime, and this book is Whitfield trying to figure out how his friend turned so bad. Philbrick would basically buy a painting, and then sell 'shares' of the painting--the idea is that as the painting increased in value, so would the shares he sold. But his scam was he sold many more 'shares' than were available--so he sold a 50% share to 4 or 5 people. It's confusing and honestly not too interesting. So that's why it's only a 3 star (paintbrush) book.
