A couple of interesting quotes about auctions
by Jerry Saltz from his Village Voice
article
Hammered on May 26th, 2005
Complete article here:
http://www.villagevoice.com/art/0522,saltz,64442,13.html
...Contemporary art auctions are bizarre combinations of slave market,
trading floor, theater, and brothel. They are rarefied entertainments where
speculation, spin, and trophy hunting merge as an insular caste enacts a highly
structured ritual in which the codes of consumption and peerage are manipulated
in plain sight. Everyone says auctions are about "quality." In fact, auctions
are altars to the disconnect between the inner life of art and the outer life of
consumption, places where artists are cut off from their art. Auctions have
nothing to do with quality. At auctions new values are assigned and desire is
fetishized. Consumption becomes a sort of sacrament, art plays the role of
sacrificial lamb, and the Ponzi scheme that surrounds it all rolls on....
...Auctions are like stripteases, relying on the audience
being enticed by what’s out of reach...
...The greed, stupidity, and cupidity of many of the people who buy and
sell their art at auctions has created what I call the "parallel market":
artists whose auction prices far exceed what their work costs in
galleries. Christie's international co-head of post-war contemporary art,
Amy Cappellazzo, ruefully admits, "Some people prefer to spend $500,000 at
auction on something they could buy privately for $50,000." She calls
these people "traders." Auction houses rely on the fact that many of their
buyers either don't know that much about art, that they'll buy almost
anything if it has the right name on it, or that they don't care. So much
for "quality." ...
