Description

Art Mystery by Mayo Thompson is a humorous and satirical crime noir that delves into the world of modern art and its commodification. A former footballer turned export agent, now specializing in chrome, accepts an unusual commission from his past adversary to find and export a pornographic work of Renaissance art. Thompson's style is tersely delivered with a dry sense of the ridiculous, as he skillfully satirizes the gallery scene, Euro-trash, art criticism, and the wealthy elite. The inclusion of scholarly data provides context for the aesthetic value of the artwork, while maintaining a lighthearted tone that keeps the reader engaged. With its cast of characters sketched definitively yet with ambiguous depths, Art Mystery is a breezy read that offers a glimpse into the literary voice of Mayo Thompson.
