This is the highly entertaining autobiography of one of Australian art's most charismatic figures.
Patrick McCaughey tells the story of a brilliant career - his discovery of art in his late teens, his days as the dynamic and feared art critic for 'The Age', his glittering directorship of the National Gallery of Victoria.
Between his memories of Fred Williams and his account of the notorious theft of Picasso's 'Weeping Woman' from the NGV, McCaughey offers a fascinating insider's view of the Australian art world. Lavishly illustrated.
