Leave your thoughts about The Price of Everything.

| The Pop BreakMarisa CarpicoFrom auctioneers to historians and buyers, the breadth of people whom Kahn interviews is incredible. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonKahn surveys artists, dealers, auctioneers, and gallery operators to provide a synopsis of the New York art world, and is at its most interesting when profiling artists who represent differing attitudes toward the way money affects their work. |
