In nur einem halben Jahrhundert des Wachstums hat die Kunstmessebranche den Kunstmarkt verändert. Nun erzählt die Kunstmarktjournalistin Melanie Gerlis erstmals vom rasanten Aufstieg der Kunstmessen und denkt über ihre ungewisse Zukunft nach. Von den ersten europäischen Kunstmessen der Nachkriegszeit, die auf dem imperialen Modell der Internationalen Ausstellungen des 19. Jahrhunderts basierten, bis hin zu den globalen Kunstmessen des 21. Jahrhunderts und ihren neuen Online-Manifestationen ist es eine Geschichte mit vielen Wendungen.
Das Buch erweckt die Menschen, Orte und Philosophien zum Leben, die es Kunstmessen ermöglichten, Fuß zu fassen, untersucht die entscheidenden Marktperioden, in denen sie florierten, und zeigt, wohin sie in einer stark veränderten Welt führen könnten.
