Summary

Collectors and Dealers explores the symbiotic relationship between art collectors and dealers, revealing how they shape artistic trends, drive market dynamics, and influence art valuation. It's a deep dive into the art market, uncovering the key players and their impact on artistic reputation and historical significance. The book examines the evolution of collecting practices, from patronage to a commercial system, and analyzes the strategies employed by dealers in navigating the complexities of the art business. Did you know that these individuals act as gatekeepers, tastemakers, and essential intermediaries? Understanding their roles is crucial for anyone involved in or interested in the art world.

 
The book progresses through three major sections: examining the motivations of art collectors, focusing on the role and ethics of art dealers, and investigating the mechanisms of art market trends. The book uses an accessible writing style, making complex concepts understandable through real-world examples. This approach is valuable for both academic scholars and general readers. It connects art history with business administration, providing insight into the economic and social factors that drive trends in the art market, and provides insights for investors looking to make informed decisions in the art market.

    An engaging exploration into the enduring popularity of Dirty Dancing and its lasting themes of feminism, activism, and reproductive rights
		 
When Dirty Dancing was released in 1987, it had already been rejected by producers and distributors several times over, and expectations for the summer romance were low. But then the film, written by former dancer Eleanor Bergstein and starring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze as a couple from two different worlds, exploded. Since then, Dirty Dancing’s popularity has never waned. The truth has always been that Dirty Dancing was never just a teen romance or a dance movie — it also explored abortion rights, class, and political activism, with a smattering of light crime-solving.
		 
In The Time of My Life, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner excavates the layers of Dirty Dancing, from its anachronistic, chart-topping soundtrack, to Baby and Johnny’s chemistry, to Bergstein’s political intentions, to the abortion subplot that is more relevant today than ever. The film’s remarkable longevity would never have been possible if it was just a throwaway summer fling story. It is precisely because of its themes — deeply feminist, sensitively written — that we, over 30 years later, are still holding our breath during that last, exhilarating lift.
