It seemed to me to be a parable of the exchange of goods, rather Marxist in some ways, in the new world of global forces.

They have been truly, really changed. — Marina Warner

One of the points where the art world is at its most metaphysical is in this weird aspect of the power of the expert. There are experts who claim they cannot be fooled because they have an inner connection to an artist and can feel whether something is genuine or fake.
