WHAT THE CRITICS SAY . . .

“Art Critic Ben Lewis explores the falling art market in his illuminating and deliberately bullheaded documentary ‘The Great Contemporary Art Bubble.”

It is clear that Ben Lewis annoys a lot of people.  Lewis asks difficult, valuable questions quite at odds with the secretive politesse of the world of contemporary art. . . . His investigation cast important light on the practices in the art world that in the wider business community would probably be, if not illegal, then at least more stringently regulated “

“Make no mistake: Art is an industry like any other, one that’s cleverly marketed and shrewdly manipulated.  Some of the gritty financials of one specific segment are exposed in “The Great Contemporary Art Bubble” a surprising documentary that explores the forces that guide and shape the market as well as the players and their tactics for controlling demand and dictating value. “
