Why would a smart New York investment banker pay $12 million for the decaying, stuffed carcass of a shark? By what alchemy does Jackson Pollock’s drip painting No. 5, 1948 sell for $140 million? Intriguing and entertaining, The $12 Million Stuffed Shark is a Freakonomics approach to the economics and psychology of the contemporary art world. Why were record prices achieved at auction for works by 131 contemporary artists in 2006 alone, with astonishing new heights reached in 2007? Don Thompson explores the money, lust, and self-aggrandizement of the art world in an attempt to determine what makes a particular work valuable while others are ignored. This book is the first to look at the economics and the marketing strategies that enable the modern art market to generate such astronomical prices. Drawing on interviews with both past and present executives of auction houses and art dealerships, artists, and the buyers who move the market, Thompson launches the reader on a journey of discovery through the peculiar world of modern art. Surprising, passionate, gossipy, revelatory, The $12 Million Stuffed Shark reveals a great deal that even experienced auction purchasers do not know.

这大概是一本讲真话的书。讲的是拍卖行，艺术品商人及其他行业比如对冲基金是如何把美国当代艺术品推向到这么高的价位的

看的很酣畅淋漓。艺术市场买卖真的是有钱人版的割韭菜，卖来卖去都是生意。对于美学上的突破与革新越来越多变成一个概念的游戏，考验的是营销的执行力而不是天赐的灵气。离出版已经2快20年过去了感觉艺术市场应该也变了不少，想听作者对ntf的研究跟看法

对于艺术一窍不通的我每次去MOMA都对自己产生深深的怀疑，直到这本书解答了我很多的疑问。无论你对艺术感不感兴趣都值得一看，带你进入现代艺术背后令人匪夷所思的运作。我觉得是今年我读到的change my way of thinking的一本书。力荐！

有些现代艺术为什么能卖这么贵？这本书解答了很多我一直以来的疑惑，各环节的品牌效应都很重要。不过看了半天觉得还是富人的vanity作祟……内容有意思但后面有点重复
