The contemporary art market is a special world that develops according to its own laws, and at the same time it is an uncontrollable, uncontrollable element that accumulates huge cash flows. Vanity Fair contributor Michael Schneerson is interested in the hidden mechanisms of this market, its participants and history from the 1940s to the present day - that is, the history 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 XNUMXst 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 - tastemakers, those who financially support emerging artists and guide them to success. The focus of Michael Schneerson is famous art dealers who worked with the greatest artists of their time - Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Basquiat. The author had a chance to personally meet the characters of 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 conditions of fierce competition, there is a place for everything - honest partnerships and betrayal, pragmatism and philanthropy, painstaking work and adventurism.
