Eisner I Lauder NEW VIEWS Screening Program: The Price of Everything
In collaboration with Sotheby’s
“More conversational than journalistic in spirit, it avoids hard statistics (and the reasons those stats can be hard to come by) in favor of well-informed impressions and anecdotes… Easily accessible to non-insiders and holds interest even for those who follow art closely.” – The Hollywood Reporter
Exploring the labyrinth of the contemporary art world, The Price of Everything examines the role of art and artistic passion in today’s money-driven, consumer-based society. Featuring collectors, dealers, auctioneers and a rich range of artists, from current market darlings Jeff Koons, Gerhard Richter and Njideka Akunyili Crosby, to one-time art star Larry Poons, the film exposes deep contradictions as it holds a mirror up to contemporary values and times, coaxing out the dynamics at play in pricing the priceless.
Director Nathaniel Kahn and Producer Jennifer B. Stockman will be featured in a post-screening discussion.
