The Price of Everything

"Watching The Price of Everything invites feelings of aggravation toward the art world. You want to hate the obscenely rich snapping up multi-million-dollar artworks for their own private collection. You want to hate the slimy wheelers-and-dealers who might else well be trading stock. You want to hate the artists who crank out pieces like they’re making designer handbags."

"[A] brilliant and captivating documentary about how the art world got converted into a money market..."

"An intelligent film, 'The Price of Everything' is also very funny - usually on purpose, though some of the art is ridiculous."

"While this colorful and inquisitive cinematic essay on the state of the art world is occasionally skeptical and consistently thoughtful, cynicism isn’t really on its agenda."

"There’s something so fluid, almost nebulous, about its construction that a chasm starts to open up where you would expect to find some kind of unifying thesis."

"I walked into The Price of Everything not knowing who Larry Poons was and walked out quite besotted with the lovable old goat."

"Kahn is a quiet filmmaker, and he gently prods his sources to go beyond the typical art world hyperbole of "gorgeous" and "wonderful.""

"Cool and nominally neutral, there is nonetheless a genius use of one scene from Martin Scorsese's grim and glossily-reproachful The Wolf of Wall Street that makes the director's feelings on the subject crystal clear."

"An entertaining if not comprehensive look at the bubble in blue-chip art."
