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
