DECEPTION IS A FINE ART.

When Orlando Whitfield first met Inigo Philbrick, they were art history students, dreaming of selling art for a living.

Their complex friendship lasted for fifteen years until one day, Inigo – by then the most successful dealer of his generation – disappeared, accused of a fraud so gigantic and audacious it rocked the art world to its core. A wickedly sharp memoir of greed, ambition and obsession, All That Glitters is the story of what happens when art and money collide – and who pays the price when they do. Orlando Whitfield takes you to the heart of the contemporary art world, a secretive, high-stakes arena, where late-stage capitalism is a blood sport – a place wilder and wealthier than you could ever imagine.
