then to completely new things in talk of the ancient giants who in the region live in its teachers even the. teachers out of the darkest religious or into a new. place and probably no place anywhere in the when things were in such quick succession and. the renaissance. starts and grew twenty second d. w. . these days art is big business this piece of canvas for example went for three hundred twenty eight thousand euros and that's nothing out of the ordinary in fact

prices can easily go into the millions as will discover later in this show the state of the art is this week's topic here on made in germany few art and design movements of the modern era have left such an impression as germany's bauhaus the group has been in france and designers and architects for a hundred years now the bows model was form follows function they create is practical pieces clean crisp lines and some of these classics are bestsellers to this day. some ideas trigger a revolution. machine age lead to a whole new world a new tempo a way of seeing. some revolutionary ideas just keep on giving. that site will it's never too late for timeless good design and some are still bestsellers a century after they were first launched. the design of

a chair needs to conform to the nature of sitting. perfecting the chair has made this man's company successful. who found a german home furnishings company tacked on says furniture is more than just a series of functional objects it's a symbiotic it's between art and craftsmanship. that's the. thing you need to grasp the nature of the task involved the nature of the material the design and the function and to grasp it in such a way that you're able to bring out the internal image of the structure so that it speaks for itself for. me where. it sounds complicated but it's actually all about simplicity modern furniture should be adapted to suit people and not the other way around it involves reducing everything to essentials

in other words form follows function. house philosophy. in around one thousand nine hundred many homes in europe would have looked like this bulky cupboards and chairs and pretty crowded. the bars designers wanted to break with that tradition and they were radical. their furniture designs was simple with clear shapes and daring combinations of materials. much of our modern fine. today stems from these ideas. it's kingdom bauhaus of our house first wanted to get an unobstructed up to date view about what it means to live somewhere else where all the functions of the chair for example before stopped expected what about structure what are the loved bearing elements how can you play with them and rearrange things and break away from what i used to. even put

a human investment vincent. entrepreneur as i worked with bauhaus designers such as marcel briar and peter keller as well as their careers who could bag the assistant of respond arrow and. he's now handed over management of the detector vanisher company to his nephew. it's one of only a handful of companies worldwide permitted to reproduce the original powerhouse furniture it has a license for about thirty designs. all the furniture here is produced by hand as a carpentry workshop an upholstery under metalworking shop a company focused on making small numbers of luxury products our house has become an exclusive brand behind us we do that and we need these workshops here on site because then we can work closely with those creation the products we want to be involved in the details we think it's very important to see art and craftsmanship as one unit.

having artists who also work as craftsmen was a revolutionary concept a hundred years ago but the powerhouse designers and students experimented freely with fabrics metals wood and ceramics the result was prototypes that could then go into industrial production. luxury products made for the view was not the original goal of powerhouse it's a must to make products for the masses but powerhouse furniture never made it into cereal production into. jewel design comes at a price. the principle of maximum freedom to innovate still applies today and no matter how unusual about house chair looks it still sells this one by gropius costs two thousand euros and this one by broad costs three thousand. different way of developing furniture building from scratch based on

a strong idea it's a totally different approach to designing a product for the market that's as cheap as possible to make and has wide appeal we totally believe in what we're doing of. the bar house near the use of steel pipes for home furniture in the early twentieth century steel was a material reserved for industry until muscle broyard built the first cantilever chair it remains one of the best known powerhouse chairs to this day instead of standing on four legs the supporting framework gives it the effect of being suspended in mid-air. furniture design a torn it says the can to leave a chair accounts for around one third of its sales one hundred seventy five employees produce the chairs by hand you can pay over six hundred euro's for this classic design which has become something of a legend in itself. and that's why it's idea to use the

hundred dollars of his bicycle to make furniture was quite an avant garde approach . and really it was about accentuating the industrial nature of the design. but the company isn't content with just reproducing powerhouse designs it also sells its own furniture. to the designs are kept simple without embellishments but thinking we many people's lives are already complicated enough. this pile has had all for so and it's going to focus on the essentials the bauhaus also. sort to bring in a certain order and come on this is the life of me and i thought it was an inspiration that we can take on for our modern day and age. through art and design and architecture in the wildest sense you try to provide a little calm right from the complexities and fast pace of life. and tied. how do we want to live how do we want to work what makes us feel good these are the

questions that the bauhaus designers and architects sought to answer a century ago and many of the answers they found are still relevant today. but if you spend tens of thousands of your hard earned cash on a painting or sculpture by a real owned artist what you really want to know is this is it real and was it legitimately acquired by the seller theft and forgery are enduring problems in this high stakes bazaar some experts claim a third of all works for sale right now affects. worldwide our sales amounted to sixty billion euros last year. the biggest market was the united states followed by china britain and france the largest single group of purchasers are young collectors in asia it's estimated however that a third of the works for sale on the global art market are fakes one famous living

former art forger is the german involved tucky he spent more than three decades creating new old masters causing losses to others of between twenty and fifty million euros interpol's says art theft is very big business. the value of work stolen is estimated at almost two billion euros a year. almost half the artworks on the market are sold in galleries. scented fairs and just two percent of the option. christie's was the auction house with the highest sales last year at six billion euros. well into the nineteen eighties options of the major houses were society affair people dressed up to attend. in the one nine hundred ninety s. remote bidding became common with staff manning a bank of telephones. if around two thousand online

options emerged with creators manning their mouse at home. last october the art world suffered a huge shock when a girl with balloon by the street artist banksy self destructed just as the final hammer fell confirming the selling price of one point two million euro's. thanks you could build a shredder into the frame. banksy renamed the half shredded painting. is it in the bin. but then something a very unintentional happened lovers in the bin that actually went up in value after it was shredded machines an artificial intelligence like in many other industries are putting their stamp on the world even in music listen to this. that's the beatles writes. actual fact this song was created by an algorithm so how

computers make meaningful art or does true art require a human soul behind what happens when artificial intelligence pay is it. doesn't sell. people or machines more creative ai is breaking into the business and it's turning everything on its head. the music is an algorithm it's a program that serves to generate variations on my art from what i do in the course . coming sheens be creative and if so how. the painter roman lipski works with data scientist florian dorman he's written a program phillips that analyzes the way he paints the colors and the composition

and then creates new pictures based on all that information. it started with this picture since then the style has become progressively more abstract the muse has so far generated several hundred thousand pictures. it is that's just a picture is ultimately a matrix of number of so one can imagine that the muse is actually a very clever number generator could get a term in the color values of images in such a way that something new and exciting has created this noise and still. the heart of the music there's a pre-training neural network that can recognize all kinds of objects in a picture it was actually originally developed to distinguish cats from dogs. but if you years ago researchers discovered that such a pre-training neural network can be used to extract certain features such as brightness colors shapes and even style from images.

he always wanted to paint abstract picture but it wasn't until he started creating works with the computer program that he really succeeded. what the computer came up with proved to be a source of inspiration. if you could. i mean a kind of dialogue with a muse. and we influence each other to digital images inspire me to evolve. i see the music only as a tool it will never replace me. or maybe it will alter fishel intelligence comes up with amazing results will algorithms soon rival human artists. better times five years laden doesn't need a computer he creates busts of people who interest him unknown individuals and

celebrities politicians activists or entrepreneurs. for the sculptor every last detail is important. that's fifty sequence let's look constellation is what really matters the volumes have to be arranged in such a way that intensities emerge through the curves the way something pushes up against something else yielding for example a depression here. each bust needs to reflect the subjects true character. to all that it is there are of course different approaches to artificial intelligence and things could go in a number of directions i can imagine that something will eventually come of it that works i just don't see what the advantage would be. high is laden spends many hours

sometimes days with his living subjects working from photos a computer might be able to create busts that resemble their subjects but for this artist the human contact is crucial to this kid it's always about. spontaneity intuition and experience what i've looked at in the history of art and who did what and how and what are their chief but these are the resources i call upon it's you and then there are spontaneous decision of surfaces emerge the can be determined in advance did he need for this is spontaneity indeed sensual to human creativity. more and more works created with the help of computers showing up in art galleries that's well it works the focus on listen to digital technology and collective paying high prices for them yesterday i generated portrayed it was sold at christie's for more than four

hundred thirty thousand dollars a formula has replaced the signature. and this rembrandt isn't the rembrandt it too is the work of the computer some pioneering artists busy putting the dot into official intelligence and who knows when it might lead. well call me old fashioned but i think real needs a real human artist and they really don't need the competition from computers they have a hard enough time as it is many of them can hardly on a living with their work among our artist in japan typically less than one million yen a year according to the country's illustrators association that might sound like a lot but it's just a quarter of the japanese average wage and it's a similar situation for ordinary writers in the united states someone who writes full time and about twenty thousand dollars less than half the average yearly for

americans and that's not much different for many of germany's freelance actors stay on fourteen thousand euros that's about forty percent of the average income over here so the really big money in the arts is made elsewhere namely in the big auction houses we met someone who has a pretty good idea about what's hot and what's not stick boy sells a multi-million dollar pieces for a living. sixty billion. that million dollars that this is where art collectors come for some high stakes gambling is that these prices simply reflect demand just reacting to all the people who shell out millions at christie's auction house. seventy one million five hundred. it's always outstrips supply and. there's

a lot of art out there but the focus is on the art that society considers most interesting when. dick paul is president of christy's for europe the middle east russia and india. if anyone can explain why works of art can be so mind bogglingly expensive it's him. because it's not the value of an artwork is first and foremost its aesthetic value its cultural value and that's determined by art history and the canon and today there's a consensus that because it was an interesting artist. when someone buys a piece for such a crazy price is out of love for art of mine environment is that my experience the overwhelming majority of collectors we encounter i know personally are indeed interested in the art and not just in art as investment though of course there are investors as well versed on the work that fetched the highest price ever was sold at christie's in new york in twenty seventeen salvator monday

a portrait of jesus from around fifteen zero three ascribed by some experts to leonardo da vinci. two hundred million is so you are good million two hundred million two hundred thirty two out of it is big it may be a significant or even important work of art but it's also an investment it went to an anonymous better later revealed to be a saudi royal for four hundred million dollars. four hundred fifty million when you include fees christie's charges between ten and twenty percent on top of the sale price of each work. at christie's four hundred million dollars is the bread and the prius. so. how does the art market changed in recent years. yes indeed as everything we do is speeding up nowadays he's against developments that used to take place one

after the other also with regard to art and the discourse on art now occur in parallel at the same time. draws public attention much faster and we now have global trends where once there were local or regional trends but this also offers artists greater exposure we get to see more art these days. buying contemporary art is considered riskier than buying old masters it's far from clear which modern artists will prove to be a good investment when anybody find them interesting a century from now well i wax be worth a fortune for nothing at all. about of collectors and curators are always keen to discover the next generation of interesting artists nowadays there are talent scouts who have an eye for such things that are well known curator find something exciting at a gallery and post it on instagram the whole world knows about it instantly. is so

forth after. the i was it was online sales play an ever greater role. with listing yes i think they will you know we're already seeing the growth rate soar more than forty percent of our new customers come via online auctions where the generation that grew up with the internet comes of age and becomes the main player in the art market we'll see that reflected in the way they engage with the market. by. he who works on the internet is not what tree lovers about what do or is it something down below as an investors are more likely to consider. well companies are important to us collectors as well these days some even set up their own museums like the one you see behind me as chocolate maker written is good for the corporate image and might make them some money as well and aachen sultans like us to delia advise corporate clients on acquiring the art cologne said talk art

taste and money. so what about the great use of boys as a puppet. for if i'm buying art it has to speak to me. and i it doesn't speak tonight i'm left with is written here. it looks like boys will not be added to our street shopping list. she's looking for works in our cologne that would suit one of her clients. she won't say who it is but she does offer one piece of information. i think the house is about is just built a house in italy and asked me to come and have a look at the fair. on the budget. that's top secret it depends on how the stock market's doing. leah works at the interface of art and business networking is

a key skill. the with enjoying the art that i am in the company of torch of ella right behind you so who is that it's just i'm the companies that say he's a well known collector that is just about to sell his collection at auction that's exciting i'll go and see what's on offer. although studied economics and process engineering she also developed an eye for art and learnt about art history. it's often money and i also like to look at my grandparents paintings me and almost every weekend my grandfather would take me to a museum and explain the pictures to me that certainly left a mark. insiders often bump into each other year after year at the major art fairs. lydia runs into a former client. so you have to say that she is

a very well connected and she communicates very well she's also good at setting out the issues even about insurance plus trees and charming person very open very warm very helpful everything you could want. this was what. many companies like to promote are to some by art it can be good for their image and they can make the money. if they backed the right horse but it's not always easy to pick winners. that's where consultants like astrid come in. kept it and it's all began when i had the good fortune to be noticed by a well known collector. intake types after he said i can inspire people be able to get funding from large companies so we can finance exhibitions or buy art and. develop strategic partnerships basically the link between business and not just for

artists trying to sell their works that make something of a portal to patronage. system that's certainly a boost when you get recommendations and introductions it raises your profile so i hope we can work together. for lydia it's an endless round of networking and inspecting galleries and art furs around the world. and what about the client with a new house in italy. if you found i think he'd like. i said oh absolutely that's what i'm not going to tell you what right now. as always in australia as business discretion is required as the bargaining gets underway. and that's from me at the made in germany team for the day up your life

social bye bye.

it's time to take one step. and face. time you're on just such deals. and fun for the trip to sleep. time to over come down trees and connection to. sleep it's time for

work. and you don't get is coming up ahead. heinze. loosli. carefully. fill in the soup the team needs to begin to. feel and. discover the. lead please. subscribe to the documentary on to. humans love interactive and sometimes you don't have a if you're

a bottle provided that's great they're going to replace because manufacturing they're going to replace doctors and lawyers they're going to replace people in jobs you wouldn't think they can if all the work is being done by machines what it was through so they try and keep getting better better patient and take more and more advanced jobs or do they end up doing other things making art having social interaction with each other are we going to have enough humanity to make it powerful for everyone or some people are going to say i want everything and the rest you guys up to before it die it allows individuals to discover their humanity they have to learn a new meaning for life and new things to do that's a sign. whole revolution and hopefully we can move too slowly.
