Supermodel and plywood box. Shocking stories and whimsical economy of contemporary art

The famous connoisseur and connoisseur of works of art Don Thompson immerses the reader into the world of auctions and marketing on Arternka. Frankly, witty and rigidly he talks about how thanks to the hype and scandals the names of modern artists become brands and why at least strange, and rather, terrible, anti-source works are sold for transmodating prices, about who buy them and what is the motivation of buyers . Thompson draws attention to the growing effect of superdigls and duopolis of the largest auction houses, reflects on the problems of establishing the authenticity of artistic works, about how they are created and the reputation is created, about the arch of art.
