Abstract
In the art market, the value of a work has never been as releative as it is today. An intricate marketing system has been established that makes the price of an item dependent not just on its quality but also on the identity of the seller and the buyer and even on the location of a sale. This book examines the circumstances that may influence the price of a work and highlights a selection of record-breaking auction sales.
