Synopsis:
The worldwide art trade is estimated at 67.8 billion dollars—a realm marked by extremes and long-standing hierarchies. It is a dazzling arena of prestige, myth, and shifting trends, directed by a select few influential players. Behind the glamorous façade lies a system driven by inequality and intense rivalry. Since the 1990s, the business has undergone rapid industrialization, streamlining sales and aligning global preferences. Yet its true dynamics remain largely concealed. Who sets the prices? How do galleries and auction houses operate? Why does art attract the super-rich? What do creators truly earn? And how is the digital landscape transforming this market?
Through the lens of Germany’s art world, Moconomy sheds light on the hidden structures shaping the international art economy.
