“Специалисты по аукционам, как все профессионалы, занимающиеся маркетингом, понимают, что поведение человека как покупателя в значительной степени определяется той группой, к которой человек стремится принадлежать. Возможно, участник аукциона надеется обрести видимое свидетельство принадлежности к группе «владельцев значительных произведений искусства», — а может быть, добивается членства в попечительском совете какого-нибудь музея и хочет потому подарить музею известную картину. Менеджер хедж-фонда, скорее всего, стремится купить картину, которая позволит ему выглядеть культурным и богатым в глазах окружения. Вполне возможно, что покупатель-иностранец стремится приобрести узнаваемую картину, которая повысит его статус в собственной стране уже тем, что ею интересуются на Западе. Местного покупателя может совсем не интересовать историческая или эстетическая ценность картины; для него главное — тот факт, что в ней за версту виден Уорхол.”

Posing as someone or something else is the story of many women and men who have experienced repression and made a bid for freedom.
It is the story of a gay U.S. Marine who had to pretend he was straight. It is the story of a Jewish family in Nazi Germany posing as Protestants. It is the story of a black South African who tried to make his skin lighter under apartheid. Disguising oneself as a member of the recognized and approved group is at the same time a subversive act of infiltration and a concession to an impossible racist, sexist, or otherwise segregating system.”
