12、t-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, “Beautiful Inside My Head Forever”, at Sothebys in London on September 15th 2008 (see picture). All but two pieces sold, fetching more than 70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last hurrah. As the auc

13、tioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, filed for bankruptcy.The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising vertiginously since 2003. At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, found

14、er of Arts Economics, a research firmdouble the figure five years earlier. Since then it may have come down to $50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other indus

15、tries. MBA加油站In the weeks and months that followed Mr Hirsts sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable, especially in New York, where the bail-out of the banks coincided with the loss of thousands of jobs and the financial demise of many art-buying investors. In the art world that meant

16、 collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sectorfor Chinese contemporary artthey were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008. Within weeks the worlds two biggest auction houses, Sothebys and Christies, had

17、to pay out nearly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them.The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionists at the end of 1989, a move that started the most serious contraction in the market since the second world war.

18、 This time experts reckon that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more volatile. But Edward Dolman, Christies chief executive, says: “Im pretty confident were at the bottom.”What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buy

19、ers in the market, whereas in the early 1990s, when interest rates were high, there was no demand even though many collectors wanted to sell. Christies revenues in the first half of 2009 were still higher than in the first half of 2006. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report sai

20、d that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Dsdeath, debt and divorcestill deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.21.In the first paragraph,Damien Hirst

Throughout the evening one man had been particularly talkative freq

26、uently offering ideas and anecdotes while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. Toward the end of the evening I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands dont talk to them. This man quickly concurred. He gestured toward his wife and said Shes the talker in our family. The

27、 room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. Its true he explained. When I come home from work I have nothing to say. If she didnt keep the conversation going wed spend the whole evening in silence.This episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to talk more than w

28、omen in public situations they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage.The pattern was observed by political scientist Andrew Hacker in the late 70s. Sociologist Catherine Kohler Riessman reports in her new book Divorce Talk that most of the women she interviewed -

29、but only a few of the men - gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces. Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent that amounts to millions of cases in the United States every year - a virtual epidemic of failed conversation.In my own research complaints from women about th

30、eir husbands most often focused not on tangible inequities such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his or doing far more than their share of daily life-support work like cleaning cooking social arrangements and errands. Instead they focused on communication: He does

31、nt listen to me He doesnt talk to me. I found as Hacker observed years before that most wives want their husbands to be first and foremost conversational partners but few husbands share this expectation of their wives.In short the image that best represents the current crisis is the stereotypical cartoon scene of a man sitting at the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in front of his face whi
