A novel that gives a lot of information on the Art Market---perhaps too
much, as it takes away from character development and from the story
itself--is Noah Charney's. "The Art Thief."
In nonfiction, Jed Perl's, "Eyewitness: Reports From an Art World in
Crisis," is very worthwhile (and inexpensive at Abebooks), especially
his introduction. Perl, who writes for The New Republic, is one of the
few art critics genuinely interested in the _experience_ of art, and is
not afraid to criticize the fact that money is destroying it, just like
it's rotting the few board feet of what's left of our democracies.
One of Perl's interests is in (re)validating "stand alone art," as
opposed to art that's made in context of the hottest new movement to
which wealthy investors are flocking like a murder of crows.
Interestingly, the digital realm, which the art media ignores because
they can't assign any monetary value to the work, is where stand alone,
experimental, art is thriving. One can also say it's where the future of
experiential art is brewing.
