The art market has been booming. Museum attendance is surging. More
people than ever call themselves artists. Contemporary art has
become a mass entertainment, a luxury good, a job description, and,
for some, a kind of alternative religion. In a series of
beautifully paced narratives, Sarah Thornton investigates the drama
of a Christie's auction, the workings in Takashi Murakami's
studios, the elite at the Basel Art Fair, the eccentricities of
Artforum magazine, the competition behind an important art prize,
life in a notorious art-school seminar, and the wonderland of the
Venice Biennale. She reveals the new dynamics of creativity, taste,
status, money, and the search for meaning in life. A judicious and
juicy account of the institutions that have the power to shape art
history, based on hundreds of interviews with high-profile players,
Thornton's entertaining ethnography will change the way you look at
contemporary culture.
