薩拉·桑頓(Sarah Thornton),作傢,社會學傢。於加拿大濛特利爾的康哥迪亞大學取得藝術史專業的碩士學位,於格拉斯哥的斯特賴斯剋萊德大學缺的社會學博士學位。她是蘇賽剋斯大學的全職講師,後在倫敦大學金史密斯學院做訪問學者。她早期的作品主要圍繞亞文化、媒介和文化傳承,近作則聚焦於藝術世界和藝術市場。
The art market has been booming. Museum attendance is surging. More people than ever call themselves artists. Contemporary art has become a mass entertainment, a luxury good, a job description, and, for some, a kind of alternative religion. In a series of beautifully paced narratives, Sarah Thornton investigates the drama of a Christie's auction, the workings in Takashi Murakami's studios, the elite at the Basel Art Fair, the eccentricities of Artforum magazine, the competition behind an important art prize, life in a notorious art-school seminar, and the wonderland of the Venice Biennale. She reveals the new dynamics of creativity, taste, status, money, and the search for meaning in life. A judicious and juicy account of the institutions that have the power to shape art history, based on hundreds of interviews with high-profile players, Thornton's entertaining ethnography will change the way you look at contemporary culture.

當暢銷小說讀好瞭
評分對於我們這種土著,當然是隻認識那麼多藝術傢中的村上隆...還好重點是社會學田野調查否則很難看清這一個太常被seriousness施暴的藝術圈
評分讀瞭颱版(發現讀竪版翻譯並沒有比讀原文更快????)。前兩章很吸引人,後麵漸漸後勁不足,而且重點多放在瞭sensational的名流上層世界,題目是art world,真正講artist的卻很少。要說是在分析經濟社會結構呢,感覺又不夠透徹。有意思,但有點失望
評分原來有中譯啊
評分"Artists have huge egos, but how that manifests itself changes with the times. I find it tedious when I bump into people who insist on giving me their CV highlights. I've always thought that wearing badges or ribbons would solve it. " ── John Baldessari
