RaveNew City LitEssential reading for both art history students and appreciators of the present artistic culture ... revelatory ... Reading like a novel, this well-researched re-threading of Nazism’s hateful tapestries chronicles the perspective of the Führer’s singular ambition to redefine the global art culture in his Aryan image, the artists victimized in service to it and the art dealers tasked with making it happen ... the allure of Lane’s monograph is that the art world remains the \'world’s largest legal but unregulated industry,\' where vacuity within rules of conduct demonstrate how nothing has been done to prevent what she refers to as eager victimizations imposed by a \'new Gurlitt.\' This continuity draws a line between the iniquities of past fascistic exploitation, and our cold capitalistic present, where such injuries have become institutional convention.
