The amount of wash trading in the fine art world is certainly not zero.


True, but I don't thing wash trading is integral to convincing people that fine art is something people want...


There's perhaps a difference between an original DaVinci and whatever the latest paint splatter on canvas modern art is, though.


I'm pretty sure it's integral to convincing people that ~99% of the >$1,000,000 fine art is something people want enough to pay the 'going' price for.
