Summary:

Prices for contemporary art are going through the roof despite the lousy economic situation in general. Internet, the growing number of rich individuals and globalization have changed the art market beyond recognition. Has contemporary art become a commodity in the hands of the super rich private collectors? This film investigates the ins and outs of the soaring art market and the consequences for artists, dealers, museums and for art history.
