The Local Weekly The heart and soul of our communities with news and information about the Sunshine Coast
The Sunday Film Series presents the documentary “The Price of Everything” at the Arts Centre in Sechelt March 15 at 10:30am. Suggested donation$10.
A deep dive into the rarefied world of contemporary art where everything can be bought and sold, “The Price of Everything” is a stunning exposé of the role of art in today’s consumerist society.
What is it about the contemporary art market that holds us mere mortals in thrall? How and why can a shiny, metallic balloon-animal dog sell for $58.4 million, as Jeff Koons’ original did in 2013? Why is some contemporary art now worth 10 times more than what it fetched at auction only 10 or 15 years ago?
