by Michael Findlay
Experience the tenth anniversary edition of the acclaimed book hailed by ARTNews as 'one of the best ever published on the art world'. Discover new insights on recent art deals, reflections on race and culture, the pandemic's influence on the art world, and more.
What is art worth? How can a work by Warhol be sold for more than $100,000,000? Providing expert insight and knowledge, renowned dealer and industry expert Michael Findlay examines the enduring significance of art throughout history, delving into both its financial and emotional value in The Value of Art - Money, Power, Beauty.
This revised edition, generously illustrated and informed by the author's half-century of experience in the industry, challenges and redefines our interpretation of "value" in the art world. Expanding on the evolution of the art world since the book's original publication in 2012, including the emergence of NFTs and digital art, the transformation of auction houses into theatrical spaces, the significance of art in relation to modern society's tumultuous political climate, and the influence of the pandemic.
Through a combination of style and wit, Findlay offers a comprehensive understanding of the mystifying buying and selling processes in the art world, whilst continuously looking deeper than pure monetary value to emphasize the primacy of art’s essential, non-commercial worth.
Unlock the captivating world of art with The Value of Art. Learn from Findlay's wise advice and insider anecdotes about scams and celebrity collectors. Discover the secrets of the art world and what it takes to become a sophisticated and discerning collector. This comprehensive guide is a must-have for any art enthusiast.
