Art and Business

In the Balance

Available for over a year

Does money stifle creativity? That's the question BBC Arts Editor Will Gompertz, puts to his guests in this week's edition which comes from the Biennale art show in Venice. They all agree that the art market has changed in the last twenty years, but is it for the better? Ralph Rugoff, director of the Hayward Gallery in London, Turner Prize winning artist, Jeremy Deller and art critic and author Louisa Buck, discuss with Will whether the new money that has come in has been a corrupting influence rather than a force for good.
