Not only it contains various representative art-works, also it involves many high-valued artworks traded continuously. The value of an artwork worth billions might be decided by couple different roles in the art market and become a precise masterpiece in a short time. In the art market, art-works are just like merchandises and transferred from the production/creation procedure by artists, the promotion and arrangement by art dealers then passed through wealthy collectors or financial supporters, and the reputation of artists are improved as well after media exposure. Under the multiple influence of value and reputation, a creation becomes a valuable artwork and have a higher price in auction. After couple rounds of above cycle, the price of the artwork raises higher and higher. This study built a process diagram for representing the cycle as described above involving the relationship between roles and places in the art market, made the concept of the diagram into an interactive exhibition allows visitors to participate. Through the exhibition, participants profoundly understand that the fluctuation of prices for artworks are actually decided by different roles, places and behaviors.
