next chapter The System of Contemporary Art

Nazar (2002).

Art economics originated as part of political economics.

Baumol has measured the rates of return of investment in paintings because he is a passionate connoisseur and collector; Mark Blaug has talked about performances because he is a competent spectator; Keynes invested his financial profits in support of his activities as a collector of paintings and rare books. Finally, Keynes spoke about painting and ballet, not only thanks to his ideal of beauty, but also because stimulated by his relationships, since his Russian-born wife Lydia Lapokova was a ballet dancer (Candela and Castellani 2000).
