i was shooting an interview with the woman from UBS (#49), and it's amazing how cold and divorced of emotion one can be while discussing works of art. she is given a budget and travels the world buying art as an investment portfolio. her performance is judged by how well that portfolio appreciates. the content of the works is irrelevant. this is obviously no surprise, every major financial entity has a collection of sorts, it's just interesting, and depressing, to hear of its pure commodification firsthand.
