This was beautifully done. It was extremely dense and took me a while to get through, so beware if that is something you don’t like. I felt like I learned something new as I am unfamiliar with the art world or art in general and I loved how each character navigated the world. The prose was poetic and lovely, though I think it was a little overdone at times - it felt a little pretentious to use vocabulary that caused me to use a dictionary 3 times on one page. BUT I loved it because I think that’s the point!
