Abstract
The Epilogue sketches the main characteristics of the art market bust in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent market recovery. The Epilogue briefly reflects on the market contraction and shift in focus from over-valued living artists at auction to critical reflection and dialogue about artworks facilitated by commercial gallerists, refers to mixed fortunes brought by a market recovery, and a recent rise of prices levels for living artists at auction.
