The Worth of Art: Discussing the Rise in Art as a Celebrity Culture by Judith Benhamou-Huet

"Benhamou-Huet lets rip on the art world accusing it with excessive commercialism. She talks of the close media circle talking up prices which always involves articles that show a record price to keep the price of the said art high and get the market to buy pieces. She finds that masters of classic art sales have almost fallen off a cliff as new buyers simply follow the media. It was good to see the Frieze art movement reviving the masters recently"
