Résumé
Delves into the economics and psychology of the contemporary art world - artists, dealers, auction houses, and wealthy collectors. If it's true that 85 percent of new contemporary art is bad, why were record prices achieved at auction in 2006… and 2007? Explores money, lust, and the self-aggrandizement of possession in an attempt to determine what makes a particular work of art valuable while others are ignored. 2008.
