An Object of Beauty by Steve Martin

3.0

I really enjoyed Martin's writing style and engagement with the modern and contemporary art world and commentary on art history at large. The storytelling is set perfectly in New York and Martin exquisitely describes the richness and complexity of where the city's elite thrive. Lacey Yeager is a fascinating protagonist who exudes confidence and grabs onto power and wealth however she can. However, the narrator Daniel feels a little dull at times.
