The Striking Parallel Between Fine Art and Real Life

Art reflects life, and it turns out that reflection doesn’t stop with paint on canvas or figures carved out of stone…it continues right down to the ledger books and bills of sale – to economics. Nowhere is that parallel more startling than a glimpse at the fourth annual Art Market Report, an annual survey of who is buying and selling art - where, what and for how much - published by and released at The European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF) in Maastricht (Holland’s southern-most city) this month.
