Very interesting article. But I'm still not very clear mechanism which achieved multi-million dollar prices for contemporary works. It's like something very similar to the principle of financial pyramids.

On this subject, there are other opinions. Some authors think that is deliberate campaign to oust the traditional arts, which are always closely linked to the specific country and a very specific preferences of its inhabitants, that is unprofitable for the global market. Art thus regarded as an agent of influence. Traders "irrelevance" and have collected a lot of this (wrote about it in the Grabar Art in captivity "). Here they are investors! Now their task - to buy it! So should all the time to attract the attention of the public, etc.
