BOOK RECOMMENDATION
Mouth to Mouth by Antoine Wilson
In a first-class lounge at JFK airport, our narrator listens as Jeff Cook, a former classmate he only vaguely remembers, shares the uncanny story of his adult life—a life that changed course years before, the moment he resuscitated a drowning man.
Jeff reveals that after that traumatic, galvanizing morning on the beach, he was compelled to learn more about the man whose life he had saved, convinced that their fates were now entwined. But are we agents of our fate—or are we its pawns? Upon discovering that the man is renowned art dealer Francis Arsenault, Jeff begins to surreptitiously visit his Beverly Hills gallery. Although Francis does not seem to recognize him as the man who saved his life, he nevertheless casts his legendary eye on Jeff and sees something worthy. He takes the younger man under his wing, initiating him into his world, where knowledge, taste, and access are currency; a world where value is constantly shifting and calling into question what is real, and what matters. The paths of the two men come together and diverge in dizzying ways until the novel’s staggering ending.
The Price of Everything
The Price of Everything pulls back the curtain on the contemporary art market, revealing how creativity and commerce are deeply intertwined. Directed by Nathaniel Kahn, the documentary takes viewers inside the fast-paced world of auctions, galleries, and art fairs, where collectors, dealers, and artists navigate the absurdity between artistic value and market price. Featuring candid interviews with major figures like Jeff Koons, Gerhard Richter, and Amy Cappellazzo, the film raises compelling questions about what art is worth—and who decides. It’s an eye-opening look at how money, status, and demand shape the art world in ways that are both fascinating and unsettling.
