“When the market rules, the old rules of collecting and connoisseurship are overturned: Quality judgments seem out-of-whack in a wacky world where Rembrandt’s auction record of $28.69 million is eclipsed by Klimt’s auction record of $87.9 million.

Young artists, still wet behind the ears, sell still-wet canvases and become instant (if ephemeral) art stars.”
