Neoliberal marketization of art worlds and status multiplexity: Price formation in a Korean art auction, 1998–2007
چکیده انگلیسی


• Shows the effects of neoliberal marketization on artwork price in an emerging market.
• Heeds market status versus professional status and distinctive effects on price formation.
• Market status of artist positively associated with price, as per market principles.
• Professional status of artist negatively associated, given bi-polarized culture field.
• Spread of neoliberal art investment practices has increased artwork prices in general.

This article examines the effects of neoliberal marketization of art worlds on the price formation of artworks in the auction market. Based on the distinction between market status and professional status of an artist, we argue that the two types of status not only differ in their effects on price formation but also interact with each other in determining the price of artwork. Analysis of an original dataset of all artworks traded at a major Korean fine art auction from 1998 to 2007 indicates that the price of an artwork sold at the auction is positively affected by the market status of its artist and negatively affected by the same artist's professional status. We also find that the negative effect of professional status on the price of artwork is greater for those artists with high market status than for those with low market status. Our results also show that the adoption of neoliberal art investment practices has increased the prices of artworks traded at the auction by reinforcing the institutional logic of marketization. Moreover, the adoption of neoliberal investment practices is found to further enhance the positive effect of market status on price. General implications are discussed.
