Rudolf Zwirner, "the man who invented the art market," as coined in Der Spiegel, reflects on more than sixty years in the art business in his authoritative autobiography. "Americans now see Germany as a natural breeding ground for mighty gallerists and collectors, but Rudolf Zwirner's fascinating new memoir walks us through the decades it took to rebuild an art world shattered by World War II. In this dealer's charming telling, however, the work involved sounds more like play than labor." --Blake Gopnik, author of WarholAn art dealer of the ages, Rudolf Zwirner, father of the esteemed gallerist David Zwirner, reached many milestones in his career. From cofounding Art Cologne, the first fair for contemporary art, in 1967, to showing works by Georg Baselitz, Gerhard Richter, and Andy Warhol, Zwirner transformed the contemporary art scene in Cologne.
