黑料不打烊

Investigating the rising power of the art market over taste, the influences weighing on people鈥檚 choice, and the notion of building a new history of art, DNA Berlin's exhibition explores the subjective and personal value given to an artwork. Both parties, artists and collectors, participate to the new deal where art pieces are goods. What triggers the action of buying or selling a work once it has already been bought? The primary market refers to the first sale of an artwork, through a gallery or directly from the artist; while the secondary market deals with works that have already been sold, at least once, by collectors. Because the art market's participants are extremely few, and because artworks are not fungible, art valuation mainly relies on the enthusiasm of a handful of analysts. But trends are powerful in our society of euphoric spectacles where the social links are mediated by images.
