When people say "art market," they usually think of paintings or sculptures worth millions. While this is certainly true, the reality is also quite different: there is a surprising parallelism of individual markets that are also interesting, beyond contemporary or classical painting. The art market is not defined by general rules or common characteristics, but by a multitude of markets, some no larger than the much-cited niche. Champagne and chinoiserie, prints and sculptures, comics and classic cars – what commonalities, apart from the shared marketplace, could one find among them? This is what is special about the art market: that it concerns itself with the particular. Upon closer inspection, a panorama of art markets unfolds, in which there is nothing that does not exist. Therefore, this volume focuses less on general laws and more on diverse, indeed heterogeneous, examples.
