I especially appreciated the recent update on trends and changes. The author speaks with experience and authority; giving examples that shaped his conclusions; and expressing non-conclusions when he perceives future directions as murky. I highly recommend this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Realistic outlook at art economyBy A CustomerRefreshing to read a book about the actual dealings and the economy of artworks without pseudo-elevating art theory that usually goes with it.22 of 26 people found the following review helpful. PoorBy YachtmasterThis is not a book as much as it is an incomplete academic research paper. First of all the "book" has only 3 chapters; Video Art; Experimental Art and Investment Funds. More than 1/3 of the entire text(pages 215-361) is simply reference material(i.e. appendix; citations; bibliography etc.)This book reads like an academic paper and is not very useful or interesting. For a much better read on the insights into Contemporary Art Market I would suggest the The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art by Don Thomson.The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art
