Leading off the Artelligence Conference this September 13th in New York City will be Michael Findlay, the author of The Value of Art, a fascinating book on the art trade but also something of a manifesto on how to look at, think about and experience art. Central to Findlay’s point of view, as he explains in the audio clip below from a conversation recorded several months ago, is that the way in which we understand a work of art’s value has been up ended by the fixation on auction prices and valuations. Findlay will have more to say at the conference.
