This 2018 documentary exposes the shady dealings of contemporary art trading and how art has been turned into an asset class.

The word priceless is often used in the art world, but seldom with sincerity: Everything has a price.

The back-door trading that happens before a piece hits the auction house in New York City may guarantee a price point before the painting is even finished.

Art has become its own form of currency.

Nathaniel Kahn is the acclaimed filmmaker behind the Oscar-nominated documentaries My Architect and Two Hands.

In his 2018 documentary The Price of Everything, Kahn explores the inner workings of high-value contemporary art trading.

Using interviews with collectors, critics, and historians, plus behind-the-scenes showroom and auction footage, the film shows how the elite are turning modern art into a lucrative trading commodity and generating immense profit.
