A renowned art critic, associate professor of the aesthetics department of the philosophy faculty of Moscow State University named after M. V. Lomonosov and head of the program "Management in the art business" of the School of Design of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration Armen Apresyan invites the reader on a historical journey through the world of art from the 19th century to the present day, trying to find - sometimes quite unexpected - answers to questions that both amateurs and experts ask.

It happens that a work of art first causes ridicule among contemporaries, but then is recognized as a masterpiece, and its creator becomes a world-famous artist.

What influences this: the fate of the author himself, the whims of the public, the assessments of critics or the laws of the art market? Why, for example, is Vincent Van Gogh, despised in his lifetime, today one of the most revered artists, Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" tops the list of works that have had the greatest influence on the development of world art, and collectors are willing to pay more for a mass-produced work by Andy Warhol than for unique works by Pablo Picasso or Henri Matisse?
