Steve Martin: An object of beauty (2011, Phoenix) 3 stars

Lacey Yeager is beautiful, captivating, and ambitious enough to take the New York art world …

I almost gave up...

3 stars

As a middle-aged man, the character of Lacey appealed to me, as it obviously did to middle-aged Steve Martin. It is fun to be a fly on the wall as the rich and filthy rich buy and sell the most expensive paintings in the world in late 1990s NYC and Europe. But the endless shenanigans of this entirely self-involved group of snobs get rocked by world events and nothing is the same after that.
