Topic Reading-Vol.391-5/7/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Why is art so expensive?
It is because while you can build a luxurious yacht or palace at anytime, you can’t create valuable art works such as La Reve by Picaso or The Scream by Munch.
The prices for necessary things and materials, such as oil or rare metals, can go very high when the demand exceeds the supply, or when people speculate the imbalance is likely to happen in the future. But still, is over-100-million-dollar price tag for a piece of old painting a fair market value, sound investment or wild speculation?
Enjoy reading and learning about how a small group of people want to spend their fortune.
