This film investivates the ins and outs of the soaring art market and the consequences for artists, dealers, museums and for art history. Featuring artists Jeff Koons, Chuck Close and Adrian Ghenie, top collectors Michael Hort, Thomas Olbricht and Martin Z. Marguiles, and former Christie's NY Chairman Amy Cappellazzo.
