Suggest me a book about art and general questions related to art
Something similar to Art and Fear by Bayles and Orland, which I read recently and thought was insightful. It answered some questions relating to what I had thoughts about in art.
I have The Story of Art by Ernst Gombrich. It was first published in 1950 and there’s a reason why it’s still in print today – it’s a comprehensive and accessible history of art that some regard as an essential classic of the genre. Certainly it’s worth considering.

*Ways of Seeing* by John Berger
Tolstoy, *What is Art* (a classic work, but surprisingly relevant today)

All that Glitters by Orlando Whitfield was quite eye opening about the international gallery/artist estate sales industry.
