"This book presents the first detailed study of the place of galleries and gallerists within the French art market. Based on field research carried out for over a decade, the book draws on interviews with those working in the field today to provide a thorough and up-to-date analysis of what contemporary art galleries really are, illuminating the hierarchized structure of the sector and revealing the major role galleries play in the creation of art value. The book concludes by providing a sociological ranking of international contemporary art galleries. It is essential reading for scholars and students of art sociology, art history and art business"--
