lars p @LarsP 03/15/2021 If you are into modern art THIS is a must see! I love art and expected to enjoy the film. I do not like it, I love it! See more Gina W @RT47387387 07/02/2020 Good documentary about art and money. See more 03/10/2019 Rotten tomatoes is fake news. They refuse to let me review Captain Marvel. They fabricate their review outcomes. A disgrace. Rotten Tomatoes is corrupt. See more 12/15/2018 The Price of Everything takes us through the rarefied are of a Sothebyï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s art auction, and by withholding judgment, we are allowed to come to our own conclusions. The camera lingers on various pieces of modern art as different players are speaking, giving us the chance to decide for ourselves what we would bid for a specific piece of art. Are we all being hoodwinked by the glitz and wealth surrounding this crazy art scene? Are the collectors and critics under the spell of a type of cult? Watching Koontzï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM) rooftop monologue as he surveys one of his sculptures, one cant help but ask these questions. Representational artist West Frazier in a recent interview made the observation that important things are happening in the regional art scenes around the country, perhaps even more important than the lofty scene in New York. The representational artists such as Frazier sell their pieces for much more modest sums, and supplement their income by teaching workshops to the hobbyists and aspiring artists. These workshops frequently sell out well in advance, because people actually want to learn to paint representational art. And, the artists are approachable, regular people. In the end, Iï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)d take a Richard Schmid or a Scott Christensen over any one of the pieces on display at Sothebyï¿ 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2(TM)s auction house. But time will be the ultimate arbiter. In the end, will the pieces here be views as masterworks of art, or as mere artifacts of that provide clues to a bygone period and culture. See more 12/10/2018 Decent exposure to the 1% sector of the arts but its narrow focus hardly sheds light on how the art world functions as a whole.

Everyone can find something to like and to learn from in this film. Well done! See more Read all reviews
