485. “I’ve Been Working My Ass Off for You to Make that Profit?”

from Freakonomics Radio · host Freakonomics Radio + Stitcher

The more successful an artist is, the more likely their work will later be resold at auction for a huge markup — and they receive nothing. Should that change? Also: why doesn’t contemporary art impact society the way music and film do? (Part 2 of “The Hidden Side of the Art Market.”) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
