If you're interested in this, I highly recommend the book The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics Of Contemporary Art. As the promo blurb says, it's a Freakonomics-style look the art world, covering artists, deals, collectors, and auction houses. A ton of insight into how all the psychology of it fits together.

- faizshah 9y agoHa, I was just going to post this as well. I can't recommend this book enough, it's really an eye opening discussion of how value is created in the contemporary art market. If you wonder why some artwork that seemingly required little skill is worth millions or why someone would pay for an all white painting, this is the book for you.
