Well, this I beg to differ.

Do you think that no order? You think that all the sales prices of the same transcendent Bacon, Rothko, Freud, Koons, Hirst random? Yes, there are, of course, and surprises, not covered by the organizers of auctions. But, I assure you, all the "landmark" sales represent a well-planned action. And they are directed at the general rise of the total market. Because after these sales prices are significantly grow and artists second, followed by the third row. So ... rather naive to believe that the market regulates itself. This is partly true, but only partly. The behavior of the market one way or another controlled monopolies, but in this case, the major auctions. And the auction does not make sense to go in the wake of the market and allow for lower prices. Moreover, surely there is (perhaps unspoken, and, perhaps, explicit) collusion in auctions for similar actions aimed at the rise in prices for all markets.
See, every year at the auction happens several fantastic sales. This happens very regularly. Things that are sold at such prices appear at auction is no accident, and their number is strictly metered. And you call this mess?

Look at things realistically. I thoroughly analyze the situation. And the index you just to help.

(Added - and auctions, by the way, too

)
