pick#DynamicDs Day 5: #Dots is all about Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama who – prior to being the visionary, hip, funky artist that she is now known to be – was a quiet country girl who spent her days dreaming beyond what she can see. My review of this fascinating picturebook biography here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-kqN
pickThis was written in 2008 so it is a bit outdated, but it is a book that gives a lot of thought to art - what is art, making, selling, owning, and value. Much to think about. How does a work become "worth" $12M and what is worth? I found the section on auctioneers most fascinating since I have become interested in Sotheby's auctions. Also found throughout the competition and unity of Sotheby's and Christie's really interesting.
Last year started my HUGE crush on Sotheby's auctioneer Phyllis Kao. That has lead me to this tagged book.
She is not featured in it, but it does give a history and look at current look at art houses and sales, it is interesting to think about what is art, even though the idea of this much money makes me sick to my stomach.
