The book presents texts from an international colloquium held on December 11-13, 2003 at the Hotel Forum and the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava in the conception of Jan Bakos. The title of the international colloquium and published colloquium proceedings encapsulate a trend in the recent discussion about the relationship between art and the market, and it also indicates the viewpoint of the main organizer of the colloquium and editor of the proceedings. Here, Jan Bakos elaborates his polemical stance concerning the older notion of the incompatibility of the world of 'Art' and prosaic economic reality.
