Rezensionen
»Dank der ausführlichen Interviews ermöglicht das Buch lesenswerte Einblicke in die Situation der Kunstszenen und -märkte von Hongkong und Shanghai im Jahr 2014. Gleichzeitig bietet das Buch den in den Sozialwissenschaften seltenen Fall einer Argumentation, bei der das von den Autoren präsentierte Evidenzmaterial die eigene These widerlegt. Michael Hutter, www.sehepunkte.de, 18/2 (2018) »Das Verdienst der St. Galler Studie ist es, [...] Eindrücke mithilfe von Leitfragen zum kulturellen und ökonomischen Globalisierungsprozess zu kontextualisieren und zu interpretieren.« Barbara Basting, WOZ, 22.12.2016
