"As the art critic Robert Hughes said in his film The Mona Lisa Curse in 2009, “The art market is the largest unregulated market in the world.” That didn't just become true in the last decade: it has been true since the beginning. And please ask yourself this: what price paid for a Modern work since about 1925 hasn't been suspicious? I would like to file a suspicious transactions report on the entire 20th century. Where does one go to do that?
To see what I mean, let us go back to 1929 and the founding of the Museum of Modern Art by Abby Rockefeller. Any person awake should have been suspicious of that entire enterprise. First of all, the Rockefellers were and are a banking family: their job from day one has been moving money around— laundering it, inflating it, and mostly moving it out of the other fellas' pockets and into their own. Yes, the Rockefeller fortune originally came from Standard oil, but they were into banking early on and joined forces with Chase Bank in 1930—within months of the founding of MOMA. Please take note of that, since it is a huge clue here....."
