The Ultimate Trophy: How the Impressionist Painting Conquered the World by Philip Hook analyses public's change of heart toward Impressionism. Impressionist works have become a currency in their own right, being bought and sold like blue-chip stock - coveted as much for their monetary worth as for their intrinsic beauty. A must read. Philip Hook is a senior director of Sotheby's and appears regularly as picture expert on BBC1's hugely popular The Antiques Roadshow. www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow
