Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the market mechanism in the field of art, as well as the influence of the market on the development of mass taste and aesthetic mainstream. The author demonstrates that the market price for works of art is an indicator in which all the numerous factors of the art market, both aesthetic and economic, including the current situation, are collected and embodied in a concentrated form. That is, the price accumulates all the social connections of art. By spreading, auction catalogs like nothing else make the art market global, serving as a single information base for all its participants. The wide publicity of the auction results forms the fashion in art, raises the prestige of a particular direction, and makes it the main one. The material of the article is of interest in the disciplines "History of Art" and "Modern Art Market".
