Talking Prices: Symbolic Meanings of Prices on the Market for Contemporary Art - Princeton Studies in Cultural Sociology
Olav Velthuis
Examines the question of pricing contemporary art from a sociological perspective. On the basis of a range of qualitative and quantitative data, including interviews with art dealers, this book shows how art galleries juggle the contradictory logics of art and economics. In doing so, they rely on a highly ritualized business repertoire.
