How do dealers price contemporary art in a world where objective criteria seem absent? "Talking Prices" is the first book to examine this question from a sociological perspective. On the basis of a wide range of qualitative and quantitative data, including interviews with art dealers in New York and Amsterdam, Olav Velthuis shows how contemporary art galleries juggle the contradictory logics of art and economics. In doing so, they rely on a highly ritualized business repertoire. For instance, a sharp distinction between a gallery's museumlike front space and its businesslike back space safeguards the separation of art from commerce. Velthuis shows that prices, far from being abstract numbers, convey rich meanings to trading partners that extend well beyond the works of art. A high price may indicate not only the quality of a work but also the identity of collectors who bought it before the artist's reputation was established. Such meanings are far from unequivocal. For some, a high price may be a symbol of status; for others, it is a symbol of fraud. Whereas sociological thought has long viewed prices as reducing qualities to quantities, this pathbreaking and engagingly written book reveals the rich world behind these numerical values. Art dealers distinguish different types of prices and attach moral significance to them. Thus the price mechanism constitutes a symbolic system akin to language.
我自己的译作,哈哈!

评分我就喜欢这样的不说大话不需以高屋建瓴理论压制案例阐述的认真讲故事的书 向Velthuis学习如何设计和处理访谈资料
评分泽利泽的commercial circuit不算是个好用的概念。就像人类学家用商品的对立面来定义礼物一样,泽利泽用网络等级市场家庭企业的对立面来定义circuit。所以Velthuis到最后也很难说清楚哪些条件规范了circuit的边界,哪些证据又属于同一个circuit中画廊的策略区分。大家只能意会,此一缺憾。但厉害也厉害在,建立在这样模糊理论上的证据还写得非常精彩。最后几章提到价格是构建价值而不是玷污价值,要细究的话稍微有点偷换概念。这里所指应该不是value,而是values或者worth (e.g.,Boltanski and Thévenot)。我觉得最精彩的有两处:一处是画廊以纯粹的购买行为来表达对艺术家的关怀,还有一处是以叙事解释价格从而消除其commensuration。
