Synopsis

Exploring the labyrinth of the contemporary art world, 'The Price of Everything' examines the role of art and artistic passion in today's money-driven, consumer-based society. Featuring collectors, dealers, auctioneers and a rich range of artists, from current market darlings Jeff Koons, Gerhard Richter and Njideka Akunyili Crosby, to one-time art star Larry Poons, the film exposes deep contradictions as it holds a mirror up to contemporary values and times, coaxing out the dynamics at play in pricing the priceless. 'The Price of Everything' dives deep into contemporary art world, holding a mirror up to out values and our time, where everything can be bought and sold. This documentary is directed by the PGA winner and Academy Award and Emmy nominee, Nathaniel Kahn.
