"Harvard comparative literature professor Shell maintains that art and commerce are inseparably linked. This erudite, anecdotal study begins by investigating early Christianity's ambivalent attitude toward wealth....he inspects the aesthetics of counterfeiting, the clever art of trompe l'oeil paper money and the 'dematerialization of the artwork' in minimalist and conceptualist painting and assemblage. More than 100 halftones and nine color plates included here feature works by Andy Warhol, Thomas Nast, Gustav Klimt, Ucello,[and] Joseph Beuys."Shell, Marc is the author of 'Art & Money' with ISBN 9780226752136 and ISBN 0226752135.
