Talking Prices book cover

Talking Prices

Symbolic Meanings of Prices on the Market for Contemporary Art (Princeton Studies in Cultural Sociology)

Olav Velthuis

Discover the fascinating world of contemporary art pricing in Talking Prices. Sociologist Olav Velthuis examines how art dealers in New York and Amsterdam navigate the complex relationship between art and economics. Through qualitative and quantitative data, including interviews with dealers, Velthuis shows how highly ritualized business practices are used to convey meaning and identity through pricing. This groundbreaking book reveals the symbolic system of the price mechanism and how it parallels language in the art world.
