Seeing the Value in Art
At the end of Chapter 2, we briefly mentioned the explosive career of Jean-Michel Basquiat after a
number of his graffiti-like paintings were exhibited in the 1981 New York/New Wave exhibit at P. S.
1, an alternative art gallery across the 59th Street Bridge from Manhattan. Henry Geldzahler, then
Cultural Commissioner for New York City, saw his paintings at P. S. 1 and “just flipped out.” Alauna
Heiss, founder of P. S. 1, recalls “standing in front of Jean-Michel’s work with a director of Philip
Morris. We were paralyzed. It was so obvious that he was enormously talented.”
By 1982, Basquiat was earning an average of about $4,000 a week by painting. Two years later,
at age 24, he became the first black artist to grace the cover of The New York Times Magazine. At
the time of his death, four months before his 28th birthday, the victim, according to the medical
examiner’s report, of “acute mixed drug intoxication (opiates–cocaine),” his paintings were selling
for about $30,000 each (normally a dealer keeps 50 to 60 percent of the sale price). Soon after his
death, the auction house Christie’s sold a 1981 canvas for $110,000. Now, 20 years since his
death, the current auction record for a Basquiat is $14.6 million for Untitled, a painting featuring a
figure with large hands. It sold at Sotheby’s in 2007. As an obituary ironically entitled “Banking on
Basquiat,” put it, “There’s no artist like a dead artist, some dealers are fond of saying.”
If these numbers seem staggering, it is worth remembering that the monetary value of works of
art is closely tied to the business of art, and, from a business point of view, art works are
commodities to be bought and sold like any others, ideally for profit. Sylvie Fleury’s Serie ELA 75/K
(Plumpity . . . Plump) ( Fig. 44 ) is a wry commentary on this fact. Here the art work is literally a
shopping cart, placed on a revolving pedestal and plated in 24K gold. Art, Fleury’s work implies, is
literally shopping.

And very high-end shopping, at that. The art market depends on the participation of wealthy
clients through their investment, ownership, and patronage. It is no accident, then, that the major
financial centers of the world also support the most prestigious art galleries, auction houses, and
museums of modern and contemporary art. Art galleries bring artists and collectors together. They
usually sign exclusive contracts with artists whose works they believe they can sell. Collectors may
purc.
2. Hallie Hart is an American-born artist raised on the
impassioned streets of New York City. Hart managed
to stay predominantly focused on education during
her formative years, graduating with a degree in
English Literature from the prestigious University of
Pennsylvania and excelling in creative writing. Hart,
however, always felt magnetically drawn to painting
with an unprecedented love for abstract
expressionism. Diving into the paint awakened a side
of herself she had never felt before. Since then, Hart
has found inspiration in her extensive travels across
the globe with techniques that allow her to use only
her hands to channel the methodical chaos of
everything she sees happening around her. This
groundbreaking artist’s fearlessness with vibrant
acrylics on canvas and various other textiles can be
found with several corporate and private collectors
across Europe, Asia and her home country of the
United States. As she has grown into an eccentric
and accomplished artist, Hart has been able to show
several different sides of herself through her work
and launch her successful international brand, House
of Hart.
