About
An exploration of the psychology of art observation is based on the 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa, noting how a vast number of people went to look at the empty place in the Louvre where the painting once stood; and considers what art represents, its creative process, the reasons people look at art, and the costs associated with masterpieces. 20,000 first printing.
