It is the site of display of holy goods in the presence of thousands and thousands of believers, a mecca for the ritualized adoration of modern and contemporary art. It is also the decisive witness of the upheaval marking a radical change in the relationship between art and money, with all of the consequences—not least, the evaluation of what is to be regarded as \"genuine\" art. \u003ci\u003eWhen Art Meets Money\u003c\/i\u003e offers a sociological study in the vein of Pierre Bourdieu, the result of several years of field work, attempting to draw a picture of this change as perceived by the participants, fair organizers, gallerists, collectors, curators, art consultants and artists as a central problem of the contemporary art scene.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walther Konig, Koln","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035932705008,"sku":"9783863357443","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783863357443_p0.jpg?v=1763697827","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783863357443","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
