In the high-stakes world of fine-art auctions, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, nothing is more beautiful than making money for your museum. In Modern Art, you are the head of a world-famous museum. You and your fellow curators are looking to get one of the best deals on various pieces of artwork. Using different auction styles, you buy and sell artwork from five different artists. It’s not just the paintings, themselves, that are valuable. As an artist gets more of their works sold, the overall value of their collection will go up. But the art world is fickle, one season, an artist might be hot, and the next they’re passé. Keep track of the trends if you want to stay ahead of the competition.
After four rounds of auctions, the player who has amassed the most wealth for their museum is declared the winner.
