Note:
This article gives the sense of the mindset of the art world
in the 1980’s. It chronicles the art market, changes in the players,
the nightlife, and collector habits from the era of the
Abstract Expressionists to the mid-1980s.
The article further describes rise and fall of painting in a
booming art market. A very rare, and historic piece.
