How does the art community evaluate contemporary art? This question is discussed based on 16 interviews with artists, gallery owners, curators, and collectors. The contemporary art market is conceptualized as a “creative industry that unites actors involved in the production, distribution, and consumption of art objects. The research methodology is based on the anthropological approach of Igor Kopytoff and the discursive psychology of Rom Harré, according to which the history of the movement of cultural objects through social space and the discourses accompanying them are sources of symbolic values. Market practices of art distribution are described: criteria for selecting artists by galleries, legal aspects of distribution and consumption of art objects, informal purchasing practices, moral and pragmatic taboos on buying art objects. Four logics of justifying the value of art objects — “commercial success,” “testimony of the times,” “intellectual development,” “emotional experience”—have been reconstructed. It is demonstrated that consumption as a collector's practice requires following the rules of a “professional approach” to be recognized in the art community.

Research agenda of the New Economic Sociology since its emergence in the 1970-1980s can be described as a «negative program», focused mainly on critique of economics. Nowadays many economic sociologists as well as sympathizing economists observe theoretical crisis of the negative program. Drawing on the works by M. Weber and K. Polanyi it is shown that fundamental drawbacks of the particular economic-sociological model of explanation arise from the widespread belief of economic sociologists that economic action is a form of social action. The author argues that the problematic relation between «economic» and «social» shouldnt serve for drawing aprioristic disciplinary boundaries between economics and economic sociology. Instead the suggestion is put forward to make this relation the subject of economic-sociological study and indicate some fresh and important theoretical tools for such an agenda.
