Kellie has been invited to converse with Orlando Whitfield, an art dealer, about his newly released book, All That Glitters: A Story of Friendship, Fraud and Fine Art.
She looks forward to delving into the book, which was also featured on BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week. All That Glitters gives a dazzling insider's account of the contemporary art world and the stunning rise and fall of the charismatic American art dealer Inigo Philbrick, as seen through the eyes of his former friend and fellow dealer.
The book is being developed as a series for the American pay television network 'HBO'.
William Boyd describes the book as:
"A tremendous book. A fantastically entertaining and brutally honest account of the scurrility of the contemporary art world. A brilliant devasting exposé."
Following the talk, there will be a Q&A session, refreshments and book signing.
