To bubble ore not to bubble, ...








"The value of art, as the old saying goes, is only what the next person is willing to pay for it. A maxim that is eerily similar to the definition of a financial bubble."
Art News Worldwide

"The value of its sales (contemporary art: note) in China increased by 983 per cent in one year (2005-06). In Russia they rose 2,365 per cent in five years (2000-05), while its stock market increased by “only” about 300 per cent."
Prospectmagazine, 20 12 2008

"Bubbles are driven by the behavior of a perennially optimistic market participants (the fools) who buy overvalued assets in anticipation of selling it to other speculators (the greater fools) at a much higher price."
Wikipedia

The contemporary art market can not be compared with others, in my opinion, because of the lack of transparancy. Where is the energy coming from?
