- Summary:
- Art is big business, with some artists able to command huge sums of money for their works, while the vast majority are ignored or dismissed by critics. This book shows that these marginalised artists -- the 'dark matter' of the art world -- are essential to the survival of the mainstream and that they often organize in opposition to it
