Orlando Whitfield's All That Glitters
All That Glitters by Orlando Whitfield is a fascinating true narrative about art, lies, and treachery. It tells the story of the author's association with the infamous art-world conman Inigo Philbrick. Whitfield writes a narrative that reads like a thriller about how their union started with ambition and glamour and ended in falsehoods, legal problems, and one of the most horrific scandals in the world art market.
This story is about young hopes, unrestrained ambition, and the costly cost of deception. It is delivered with ruthless honesty, style, and intelligence.
