Boom. Big money, mega-deals, and the rise of contemporary art.
19.99 €
The contemporary art market is a special world that develops according to its own laws, but at the same time it is an uncontrollable, uncontrollable element that accumulates huge money flows. Michael Schneierson, a contributor to Vanity Fair magazine, is interested in the hidden mechanisms of this market, its participants and its history from the 1940s to the present day - that is, the story of its incredible growth and transformation into an industry. The phenomenon of 57th Street in New York, the flourishing of art galleries in Soho and Chelsea, the fair "fever" of the XXI century, the most significant events in the art world in recent decades - all this is discussed in the book. However, the art market is unimaginable without art dealers - the legislators of taste, those who financially support emerging artists and guide them to success. Michael Schneierson focuses on famous art dealers who worked with the greatest artists of their time - Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Basquiat. The author had the opportunity to personally meet the characters in his book - Larry Gagosian, David Zwirner, Arnie and Mark Glimcher, Ivan Wirth and others. Their experience shows that behind the scenes of the modern art world, in a highly competitive environment, there is room for everything - honest partnerships and betrayal, pragmatism and philanthropy, hard work and adventurism.
