"Der Kunstmarkt hat seine eigenen Regeln. Denjenigen, die zwar interessiert, jedoch orientierungslos durch Messen, Galerien und Auktionen irren, bieten in Collecting Contemporary renommierte Vertreter der wichtigsten Kunstmarkt-Akteure Hilfe: Künstler, Kritiker, Händler, Berater, Sammler, Auktionshausexperten und Museumsdirektoren stellen dem Leser ihre Erfahrungen und ihr Insiderwissen zur Verfügung. Die neue Bibel des Kunstmarkts."

"Collecting Contemporary, ein elegantes Kompendium, das vierzig Interviews mit Kunstprofis und damit vielfältiges Insider- und Hintergrundwissen vereint. Der Band, zu dem auch ein praktisch orientierter Serviceteil gehört, richtet sich an alle, die Gegenwartskunst sammeln oder aus anderen Gründen wissen wollen, wie die Mechanismen des Kunstmarkts funktionieren."
Weltwoche, Zürich

Whether you are a seasoned collector or a novice, this book sheds light on the art market - whether art fair, internet or gallery. A great starting point.

"Adam Lindemann has collated every conceivable resource that any aspiring collector could want.... This book shows you in great depth how to steer your way around the contemporary art world like true professional. The text is illustrated by copious images from many of today's most feted artists."
The Good Book Guide, London
United Kingdom
You are right !! these collectors are greedy and are looking for fame,this is terrible for the artists.
Collectors shouldn't be allowed to "buy" anything, and definitely not "sell", God forbid. Art and artists should be sponsored by the State, culture and money shouldn't mix, this way art can remain PURE. It worked well in places like the USSR and North Korea, why mess with a successful recipe !!

This book represents the worst that can happen to the artworld--being taken over by collectors who are motivated by a mixture of greed and fame and are helped by 'insiders' who share these motivations.
