cool sounds interesting ... a lesser known writer named Richard Ben Sapir wrote some really cool stuff about the art world . he clearly explained how " they ' pick and artist set a price then " buy and sell " the work back and forth , until an actual outside buyer makes a bid at around that price then the work is always worth at least that much its a big scam and it's cool how it works I am an artist too. I have sold my works in excess of 27 k. ..Oh thanks for the follow next its votes for votes and all that algo building blah blah blah ... pls enjoy my stuff if you have time .
