Why is a photo of a girl lying on the floor worth so much money?
David Ross, former director of the Whitney and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, says that mainly, it’s a result of two people wanting the same thing:
“What matters to most of those collectors is winning. When art becomes a competitive sport,” Ross said.
“All it takes to win is the guts and the money to go further than anyone else, and then, voila, you win. And winning feels really good.”
There doesn’t even seem to be anything special about Cindy Sherman to have hiked the price of her work up to sky-high proportions – she’s not dead and she’s still making art.
“We’re living in a world of funny money,” Ross added.
“And money is not really a measure of anything anymore because … it’s thrown around in such unpredictable ways.”
