His pictures sell for a record amount of money, the paintings in his exhibitions are always sold out before the opening, and "The Singing Butler" made history for being the most expensive painting by a Scottish living artist ever to be sold at auction. Here, for the first time, we get up close and personal with Jack in the studio. We see how he works in his studios in Scotland, London, and Nice, and we see how these locations influence his paintings. Jack"s own cultural influences and the influences his work has come to have on popular culture in turn are analyzed. The book also includes brand-new, never-before-seen paintings. With outstanding and revealing photography by Jillian Edelstein and a foreword from Jack"s friend, author Ian Rankin, this is a book sure to delight Jack Vettriano"s fans.
