Who decides what art is worth?

One question we often get asked at the Galleries is: what is this piece of art worth?
So, what do we really mean when we talk about art's value? And, in the world of art, who gets to decide?

In this new series of five films, Questions about Art, we'll explore some frequent musings about art - using questions asked by our audiences. What makes a painting iconic? Why aren't there more female artists? Why can’t I touch artworks when I'm in a gallery?
Check back weekly for new videos, and get involved in the comments below.
