Description

 Record prices and substantial profits have been and still are being achieved on the art market.

Yet anyone who wants to get involved needs to be informed: what distinguishes the English type of auction from one in the Netherlands?

What differentiates a vintage from a period, modern, or estate print?

Dirk Boll, managing director of Christie's in Zurich, explains this and other technical terms while providing us with insight into the rapidly changing art market: the increasingly symbiotic relationship between auctioneers and art dealers, the strategies used by the big auction houses, recognizing and creating trends, the profiles of the individual art fairs, promising new areas for collectors, and the future development of the art market are just some of the fascinating themes the expert knowledgeably and humorously deals with in concise chapters.

A trained lawyer, Boll is as competent at shedding light on the legal parameters regulating the acquisition of art as he is in elucidating the difficulties surrounding looted art and restitution procedures.  (German edition ISBN 978-3-7757-2814-0) Language: English
