From: tell Category: Art Date: 18 May 2009 Time: 03:36 PM Review: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ Catch this, lewis can be a bit annoying and he does work for the evening standardski, but this is a decent expose of the collector/gallery/institution cosy cartel which build prices and reputations based on the decisions of a few rich idiots. He shows how galleries ramp auction prices so they can sell shit at higher prices in their shops, while public run spaces feed and fatten the pot (and they all have dinner together).
