Abstract (English)

"On September 15th 2008, the day of the collapse of the Lehman Brothers, the worst financial news since 1929, Damien Hirst sold over £60 millions of his art, in an auction at Sotheby's that would total £111 million over two days. It was the peak of the contemporary art bubble - the greatest rise in the financial value of art in the history of the world.

One art critic and film-maker was banned by Sotheby's and Hirst from attending this historic auction: Ben.

Why ? He had spent the whole of 2008 making a documentary investigating the reasons behind the booming contemporary art market, and they didn't like what he was finding out..." -- Back of cover.
