Overview
A stylish, ambitious novel—touching on themes of power, money, and desire—that evokes the art world and all of its moral complexities.
"The lives of a billionaire collector, a New York gallerist and an elusive superstar painter collide with the mysterious death of a young man, whose plunge off a London balcony in the book’s opening pages sets the stage for an exploration of power, class and ambition in the world of blue-chip art."—The New York Times Book Review
Thomas Haller has achieved the kind of fame that most artists only dream of: shows in London and New York, paintings sold for a fortune. The vision he presents to the world is one of an untouchable genius at the top of his game. It is also a lie.
Between his ruthless new dealer and a property mogul obsessed with his work, the appetite for Thomas and his art is all-consuming. Who is the real Thomas Haller? His oldest friend and former dealer, Lorna, might once have known—before Thomas traded their early intimacy for international fame.
On the eve of his latest show, the luminaries of the art world gather. But the sudden death of a young man has put everyone on edge—and so begins a chain of events that will lead a group of friends back into the past to confront who they have become.
A story of deception, power-play, and longing, The Violet Hour exposes the unsettling underbelly of the art world, asking, who is granted admission to a world that seems to glitter and shimmer, and who is left outside, their faces pressed to the glass?
