Description
A Year in the Art World by Matthew Israel offers an insider's look at the inner workings of the contemporary art world. This detailed chronicle takes readers on a cross-continental journey, lifting the veil on a culture that is diverse, adventurous and nuanced. From Los Angeles to Paris and Hong Kong, Israel encounters artists, curators, critics, gallerists and institutions, uncovering their working lives and the forces that drive interest in art. Drawing on exclusive interviews and expert research, Israel explores how artworks acquire value and how technology has transformed the art world. By anchoring the narrative in history, economics and cultural dynamics, this story reveals a realm that is both vast and deeply interconnected.
