My New Book Buy the mystery, Sell the history...

Everyone wants to know what goes on behind the curtain, but I always thought that if you pull up the curtain it would be so disappointing that people would not be interested anymore. It’s often way simpler and way less exciting than what people imagine when they don’t know the answer. Once you know the answer it’s almost always a letdown. I’d say that the mystery of the art market is its mystery. If you take away the mystery then it would not be mysterious anymore.
