Michael Reid offers advice on everything from when and when not to buy art, artists to keep an eye on, collecting categories, fakes, tax and superannuation matters, collecting groups and an expanded section on buying and selling of Indigenous art.

With an Australia-wide listing of galleries, fine art auction houses, conservators and restorers, and collecting associations together with a glossary of key terms, How to Buy and Sell Art is an invaluable resource. No art lover should be without a copy.
