Wall Power tries to cover the many different auction markets, but as much as I’m interested in the many types of cultural property that trade on vibes, I find fine art is the most interesting. There’s something about the combination of an artist’s ideas and creativity, and the chord that the result strikes with enough people to make it financially valuable. (But, that’s just me.)
