Product Description

How is the price of a work of art determined? Why do some pieces skyrocket while others fall flat? This book tackles the enigmatic art market, offering a clear and engaging explanation of the forces that affect the value of art. The value of art today is more relative than ever. All elements of a sale - identity of the buyer and seller, where the art is sold, and the social potential - are explored in The Worth Of Art: Pricing The Priceless. Illustrations of record-breaking sales, new important galleries and auction houses, make this book fundamental for anyone who wants to understand today's art market.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Economics of Fine Art Unveiled., July 28, 2007
By Clarence J. Duvall Jr. (Little Rock, AR USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book frames the economics of how speculation, marketing and even personal hubris can drive the extrinsic price of art. It is a good read if for nothing more than to be open minded to an alternative viewpoint to the sea of voices that represent "the market for fine art".
