Another copy available. *** "Why, as a general rule, is art an inferior investment to common stock (and a less diverting gamble than roulette)? Why has most of the art ever produced become worthless and been discarded? How have painters past and present - from Giotto to Jasper Johns - acted as entrepreneurs without sacrificing their art? How do art auctions work? Why do museums seek to grow even though they keep most of their collections in storage? Why do most governments subsidize art and do such subsidies make economic sense? Most important of all, for serious collectors and art lovers, why is art for art's sake sound economics? Here, a noted neo-classical economist and lifelong student of art draws on art histories, biographies and memoirs, trade reports, and economic analyses to answer questions such as these. Elegantly written and filled with often amusing and always relevant examples, this witty and scholarly book - the first attempt ever to explain in layman's language the workings of the art market - will prove indispensable to anyone involved in art, whether as producer or consumer , professional or amateur." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Preface; Introduction: A view of the horizon; Art and economics reconciled; The acquisition of art; The art of painters and the craft; The art market; Art museums; Why does government assist the arts?; Should government assist the arts?; Notes. Size: 8vo. Collectible.
