About this ebook:
Rimaniamo tutti sorpresi quando telegiornali e quotidiani ci informano che un quadro o una scultura sono stati battuti all'asta per cifre iperboliche. Lo sbalordimento diventa incredulità quando l'opera venduta non è un capolavoro impressionista o una Madonna di Raffaello bensì un pezzo di arte contemporanea, magari realizzato da un artista vivente, in alcuni casi ancora giovanissimo. Milioni di dollari, euro, sterline investiti in un armadietto dei medicinali, un aspirapolvere sotto vetro o uno squalo in formaldeide. Perché accade questo? Quali sono i meccanismi di mercato che rendono possibili quelle che, a un occhio profano, appaiono delle assurde esagerazioni? E poi: ha davvero senso investire denaro nell'arte?Autorevole economista inglese con la passione per l'arte, Don Thompson prende spunto dalla formidabile storia di Damien Hirst e del suo famoso squalo per condurci alla scoperta dei meccanismi che muovono un vero e proprio sistema economico, fatto, come ogni altra attività imprenditoriale, di strategie di marketing e di creazione di brand. Ricostruisce le vite artistiche (nella forma di vere e proprie carriere professionali) di personaggi che sono oggi considerati mostri sacri - come Jeff Koons o Tracy Emin -, premiati da una popolarità degna di star del cinema.Ci racconta il modo di operare delle case d'aste (colossi come Christie's e Sotheby's), ma anche di galleristi e collezionisti, e ci svela la psicologia sottesa a questo particolare mercato, mostrandoci quanto esso sia connotato da smania di possesso, ricerca di status, potere del brand e da clamorosi conflitti di interesse, esattamente come molti altri sistemi economici.Con disincanto, grande voglia di dire quello che dell'arte nessuno mai racconta e con tanta passione, Thompson scoperchia un universo un po' esoterico, dominato da pochi iniziati, e arriva a rendere chiaro perché, in fondo, non è così assurdo spendere dodici milioni di dollari per uno squalo sottovetro.
