What distinguishes genuine artistic substance from pure market staging? In this episode, I analyze the auction histories of Hermann Nitsch, Isshaq Ismail, and Banksy – three artists, three completely different market mechanisms: from stable value development to speculative crashes.

I talk about “pump and dump” strategies in the art market, thank you for your feedback on the last episode – and at the end (with reservations!) I even reveal who Banksy really is.

Short, clear, artful – as always.
