Publishers Description: Accompanying a BBC television series, this book evaluates artists, examines galleries, considers the role of collectors and analyzes the way in which art is a source of wealth, power, beauty and even spirituality. It aims to make us look afresh at the visual arts around us. It addresses such questions as: Why do we value art? Does the extraordinary price paid for certain paintings bear any relation to their artistic value? Why do we care so much about originality in art?
