Snobs in the Art World? You don’t say.

In her book, "Seven Days in the Art World," author Sarah Thornton
reinforces the notion most people already have about buyers of
high-priced contemporary art. By presenting the reader with
"day-in-the-life" research, Thornton attempts to understand the
reasons this art is purchased. From auction houses to art fairs and
artist studios, it becomes clear that they purchase because they have
money – lots of it. Central to the author's depiction of each
scenario is the aggressive insularity she observes in most patrons.
Probably a fun read, but depressing all the same.
