Le 1% C'est Moi by Andrea Fraser
“...a one percentage point increase in
the share of total income earned by the top 0.1 percent triggers an increase in art prices of about 14 percent... It is indeed the
money of the wealthy that drives art prices. This
implies that we can expect art booms whenever income inequality rises quickly. This seems
exactly what we witnessed during the last period
of strong art price appreciation, 2004 - 2007." - “Art and Money", in: Yale School of Management Working Paper, No. 09–26 , Yale School of Management, April 28 , 2010 .
