Seven Days in Art

As Vogue magazine wrote, this book is “An exceptional portrait of a bizarre world”.
Sarah Thornton, its author, spends a day in the New York branch of Christie"s, one of the three large auction houses capable of selling works of art for tens of millions of dollars in one evening, visits a critical session in Calarts, where future artists learn how Dive your thought processes from the real world, the opening day of the Biennale Venetian and four other meetings with the scene of contemporary art.
Thanks to this involvement of the author in the processes of contemporary art, a holistic description of the social and cultural worlds is created. And here we have a unique study that goes beyond the analysis of contemporary art and describes the whole new world in which we now live.
skillfully using the techniques of observation, an attentive hearing, interview and analysis of documents, the author makes his story really interesting
