Riassunto

New York artist, Vito Giallo, turned one of the best antique dealers sold to the who's who of New York City- think Elton John, Andre Leon Talley, Greta Garbo, Robert Mapplethorpe, Franz Kilne, Mark Rothko (to name a few) and of course a daily cus- tomer of his, Andy Warhol. He was Warhol's first apprentice and first to give Warhol a show in 1954. Vito's passion for antiques and their stories lead him to open up a little shop on Madison Ave across the Carlyle Hotel that brought in every artist, actor, politician, doctor, writer in. A frequent buyer (we're talking every two weeks) from Sotheby's plus Giallo's exquisite taste made him the go-to for the best antiques in the city!

The story is Vito and his short stories of all the incredible people that had come through his little shop on Madison Ave. The book is not only about Mr.Giallo's intimate stories, but also a store owner (and a gay man) making it in New York. He truly is the quintessential New York story.
