Praise for Outsider Volumes I & II…

‘The two volumes of Outsider are a major accomplishment. They provide a compelling account of the razzamatazz of the European art world that will be quoted for centuries. Supremely, though, they are a self-portrait of a prickly, fearless, honest man who provided loving loyalty à outrance’ TLS

‘A delicious read … tantalising … I want more – much more’ Observer

‘Surely the funniest art critic of our time’ Spectator

‘Filthy, snobbish and tremendously enjoyable’ Philip Hensher, Guardian

‘He is the gift that keeps on giving – a wonderful writer, a caustic and pungent phrase-maker with a love of bitchy put-downs and wrecking-ball denunciations, the details of whose extraordinary life are matched only by the vividness and glee with which he relates them’ John Walsh, Independent

‘There are a few books, only a few, which make one wish to know the author in order to explore his thoughts and personality further. This is such a book – by the outstanding, most outspoken art critic of our time’ Daily Mail

‘Waspish, indiscreet, comical and utterly outrageous … a rare breed: someone who says what he thinks and doesn’t care who knows it’ Sunday Express

‘Brace yourself for the raciest sell-out autobiography of the year … I was riveted, fascinated and could not put the book down. It effectively banished all my midwinter blues’ The Lady

‘Brian Sewell is the connoisseur with a flame thrower … a remarkable memoir’ Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
