Abstract
The first out of three main chapters, Practices of Making Value—Evidence from Gallerists, presents results from the conceptualization of day-to-day activities of commercial gallerists. The chapter builds on empirical data derived from interviews with commercial gallerists in three cities, Berlin, New York and Los Angeles, and reveals strategic properties that inform practices of raising the value of artworks and building long stable artists’ careers while mediating between aesthetic vision and sustaining their business.
