What happens when the art world’s golden boy vanishes—and leaves behind a trail of deception, millions in missing artwork, and a best friend caught in the blast radius? Today Ceri speaks with Orlando Whitfield: writer, former art dealer, and the author of All That Glitters—a blisteringly honest memoir of ambition, illusion and the cost of loyalty in a world where value is often just a well-told story.
Orlando pulls back the velvet curtain on how the art world really works: the emotional mechanics of value, the seduction of proximity, and the fine line between friendship and coercion. We talk about breakdowns, betrayals, and the kind of care that doesn’t come with a price tag.
