Петляя по лабиринтам современного арт-мира, фильм «Всему есть цена» исследует роль искусства и подлинного артистизма в обществе потребления. Среди героев - коллекционеры, дилеры, организаторы аукционов и широкий спектр художников, от видных фигур нынешнего рынка, таких как Джефф Кунс, Герхард Рихтер и Нджидика Акуниили Кросби, до бывшей звезды арт-небосклона Ларри Пунса. Картина вскрывает глубокие противоречия современного общества и исследует законы, формирующие цены на бесценное.

As one art scene insider proclaims, the contemporary art world can be summed up as “rich people trying to prove how rich they are,” but is that all there is to this billion dollar industry? Well-researched and expertly constructed, Barry Avrich’s eye-opening documentary peels back the layers of the art world economy- from production to circulation, and delineates every integral player in the game of art-making, including curators, gallerists, collectors, donors, auction houses, and … artists. In the process, he unpacks the complex and surprising ecosystem that supports the art world superstars and million-dollar deals that make front-page news. Featuring extraordinary access to industry players and candid statements from prominent artists like Damien Hirst, Julian Schnabel, Taryn Simon, and Marina Abramovic, Blurred Lines collides the two narratives of the art world as both above and beholden to market forces.
