What is art? Art intrigues and impassions us. Modern art can baffle and enrage us.
Around art is the mysterious business of art – cold, stark galleries with chilling receptionists. Are they really doing us a favour by telling us the price? That price is another of the problems. How does one put a price on aesthetics?
Why is an unmade bed so valuable just because Tracey Emin has slept in it and entitled it ‘My Bed’? Why should a picture made of sensible wood, canvas and oil, be less valuable?
What is The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living? Is a shark suspended in formaldehyde a piece of art because Damien Hirst says so? Or is it still just a fermenting biological specimen?
Artoreuss shines new light on these dilemmas.
We develop your understanding and appreciation, giving you the confidence to make your own valuations.
