Price of Everything, The
Synopsis: Exploring the labyrinth of the contemporary art world, this documentary examines the role of art and artistic passion in todays money-driven, consumerised society. Featuring collectors, dealers, auctioneers and a rich range of artists, from current market darlings Jeff Koons, Gerhard Richter and Njideka Akunyili Crosby, to one-time art star Larry Poons, the film exposes deep contradictions as it holds a mirror up to contemporary values and times, coaxing out the dynamics at play in pricing the priceless.
“Exalts in the spirt of art over commerce, yet what’s thrilling about the film is that it captures all the ways those two forces can’t be separated.”~Variety
