His generosity, wit and forbearance over the years have been incalculable. "The power of philosophy floats through my head, Light like a feather, Heavy as Lead.” Ellen Todd has been a gentle counselor and incisive scholarly presence throughout. Among other things she helped me to understand and approach art history, which allowed this dissertation to morph into what it is today. Her keen questioning and willingness to talk things through quite literally kept me on track. The first teacher to introduce me to Cultural Studies, Dina Copelman has remained a constant advisor and friend through the years – I am very grateful. My friend and colleague Elaine Cardenas has been my sounding board, confidante and great advocate—she remained steadfastly convinced I would finish and contribute something, which means more than I can say. My friends and fellow students Tracy McLoone, Wendy Burns-Ardolino, Joanne Clarke- Dillman, Lynne Constantine, Pablo Castagno, Katy Razzano and Ludy Grandas are precious keepsakes of being in the Cultural Studies Program in GMU. All of them helped me to concentrate my thought and my work in general and inspired me. And to Neil, who has always asked when and not if – thank you for the rest. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract.............................................................................................................................. vi Preface…..............................................................................................................................1 Introduction........................................................................................................................23 1.

In the dissertation, the author focuses on this shift and interrogates the ways in which works of art have been completely transformed into commodities by corporatized entities that see them as useful only in terms of exchange value. The author argues that the neoliberal financialization of various sectors of society and commodities, including the art market, has resulted in a current state in which works of contemporary art, such as a Hirst dot painting, now exist as money capital alone. Contemporary art has been demystified in order to take on its role in the market and in this way exchange value has completely overtaken use value. Individual chapters zero in on actors in the art world, including the artist, dealer, collector, and auction house, in addition to various market indices and analysis, art world discourse and criticism, and a brief survey of the history of the art market from the 1950s to the present juncture. PREFACE Art is Fun Again “I bought a few things I wanted and I didn’t buy a few other things,” said Mr. Berggruen of his day at the convention center. “It’s like a supermarket. There’s a lot there.” --- Nicholas Berggruen, Miami Basel 2010 “It was dope,” Mr. Davis said of his day at Miami Basel. “I bought a few things.” --- Brandon Davis, Oil and Media Heir, Miami Basel 2010 Art Basel Miami 2010 opened with a particularly surreal event – a reading from a newly printed book about the contemporary art world to the contemporary art world at the deluxe W South Beach Hotel. Comedian/actor/art collector Steve Martin read a chapter of his book The Object of Beauty describing a dinner at Mr. Chow during Miami Basel before heading off to dinner at the same venue with his audience. His use of in-house terminology and references to common topics of discussion among members of this rarified world was much appreciated by those present, including collectors Peter Brant, Nicholas Berggruen, Steve Cohen and Abby Rosen, artist Julian Schnabel, über dealer Larry Gagosian, and Russian socialite/entrepreneur Dasha Zukhova. The question of “whether art enriches or de-riches us” hung in the air amidst a general giddiness about the ability of fine art to hold its value (Heyman). According to Marshall Heyman, “Art Basel 1 was fun again this year: Hosts went all out – with live music and other attractions – to separate themselves from the competition. Some even tried something new, with the words ‘Everybody has a Damien Hirst’ uttered” (Johansmeyer). Despite dire economic forecasts and a national unemployment rate approaching 10%, art is still a viable commodity and a reason for celebration for a certain group, who like Berggruen and Davis freely used the word “things” to symbolize the artworks they purchased. As a result of new technologies and the increased globalization of the art world, new media and ventures for selling the works have sprung up with increasing urgency. The inaugural edition of the VIP Art Fair went online officially on January 22, 2011, an unprecedented venture supported by artists and dealers alike. According to Jonathan Jones, the VIP (for “View in Private”) Fair allows people to be “online fair flâneurs” with simulated art fair experiences via a two-tier access system offering either free access to the works in virtual halls and booths, or, for a fee, more typical fair social interactions such as online chats with dealers, access into online private rooms and VIP lounges. A buyer can be there without being there. Dealers and galleries such as White Cube, Gagosian, and Sadie Coles HQ have put their names behind VIP, and there are already a large number of works valued at more than $1 million to be offered to customers. “With this comprehensive digital mimicry of the art fair experience, does VIP pose a threat to what has become the defining ritual and meeting place of 21st-century art?” asked the Guardian’s Jonathan Jones. The VIP Fair’s organizers intend for it to blossom into a kind of directory for the art market online while appealing to a younger, less knowledgeable audience, with perhaps less funds for traipsing around the world in person to various fairs 2 and biennales. And yet Jim Hedges of The Huffington Post covered ABMB before, during and after and prepared readers for the “giant pulsating orb known as Miami Basel, alluring a defenseless international audience of art lovers, collectors and artists to encircle its captivating glow” with a guide to the twenty satellite fairs that accompany it each year and an admonition to ignore the giant fair at their peril since

I am deputy editor of the Independent on Sunday and, with Francis Elliott of The Times, co-author of a biography of David Cameron. In the course of co-writing and updating our book we spoke to a large number of people, but equally I am very conscious that I, at least, dipped into areas in which I can claim very little specialist knowledge, so I would emphasise that in several respects there are a great many people better placed to comment and much of what follows is impressionistic. I hope that what follows is germane to some of the relationships that Lord Justice Leveson has asked witnesses to discuss. I hesitate to try to draw a broader picture, but I hope that some conclusions about the disproportionate influence of a particular sector of the media can be drawn from my experience. My interest in the area under discussion in the Third Module stems from two topics. One is in David Cameron, on whose biography we began work in late 2005, soon after Cameron became Tory leader. The second is an interest in phone hacking at the News of the World. Tory relations with Murdoch Since early 2007, the Conservative leadership has been extremely keen to ingratiate itself with the Murdoch empire. It is striking how it had become axiomatic that the support of the Murdoch papers was essential for winning a general election.

Film soundtrack features music by: Donna Summer,Marvin Gaye, Evelyn “Champagne” King, Isaac Hayes,Curtis Mayfield, Chic and the Temptations. Summitridge Pictures and RSJC LLC present a film by James Crump. Edited by Nick Tamburri. Visual Effects by Andre Purwo. Cinematography by Robert O’Haire. Produced by James Crump and Ronnie Sassoon. Sex Fashion & Disco is a feature documentary-based time capsule concerning Paris and New York between 1969 and 1973 and viewed through the eyes of Antonio Lopez (1943-1987), the dominant fashion illustrator of the time, and told through the lives of his colorful and some-times outrageous milieu. A native of Puerto Rico and raised in The Bronx, Antonio was a seductive arbiter of style and glamour who, beginning in the 1960s, brought elements of the urban street and ethnicity to bear on a postwar fashion world desperate for change and diversity. Counted among Antonio’s discoveries— muses of the period—were unusual beauties such as Cathee Dahmen, Grace Jones, Pat Cleveland, Tina Chow, Jessica Lange, Jerry Hall and Warhol Superstars Donna Jordan, Jane Forth and Patti D’Arbanville among others. Antonio’s inner circle in New York during this period was also comprised of his personal and creative partner, Juan Ramos (1942-1995), also Puerto Rican-born and raised in Harlem, makeup artist Corey Tippin and photographer Bill Cunningham, among others.

Flanked by two portraits by Francis Bacon, My Bed (1998) is almost inviting. Displayed on an angle, it gestures for us to climb under the covers, amongst stained sheets, used condoms and empty vodka bottles - detritus of Emin’s life. This is not the first time My Bed has been shown in the Tate. The 2015-17 exhibitions of this work are, in a sense, a homecoming, reminiscent of the work’s introduction to the British public.
