Worth of Art Pricing the Priceless

In the art market, the value of a work has never been as relative as it is today. An intricate marketing system has been established that makes the price of an item dependent not just on its quality but also on the identity of the seller & the buyer & even on the location of the sale. Through anecdotes & famous stories, this book, originally published in French by journalist & art market specialist Judith Benhamou-Huet, takes an in-depth look at exactly how the circumstances of a sale influence the price a work ultimately commands. The book highlights a selection of record-breaking auctions sales -- from Van Gogh's Portrait of Dr. GachetÓ to a Louis XVI dresser to Leonardo da Vinci's Codex HammerÓ to Walt Disney's film Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs.ÓBenhamou-Huet, Judith is the author of 'Worth of Art Pricing the Priceless', published 0000 under ISBN 9780756773595 and ISBN 0756773598.
