Accounting for every penny
2014
Overview
Outsiders hoping to gain insights into the world of leading high-end art dealers, auctioneers and star artists have always found it a difficult, if not impossible, task. In an extremely well-documented book underpinned by thorough research based not only on a wealth of secondary sources but also on first-hand access to key players at the top end of the contemporary art market, the author reveals himself as someone who is passionate about contemporary art, and is himself a collector. For some people - collector Charles Saatchi, art dealer Larry Gagosian and Damien Hirst, the star artist-cum-entrepreneur par excellence - art is mainly a business transaction designed to generate profit. For me, this book's underlying argument does not differ greatly from Pierre Bourdieu's theory of the art market, in which the value of art is no more than the collective \"belief in the value of art\".
