art basel and that's the world's premier art fair that just opened its doors on thursday where 290 galleries from 34 countries are peddling their wares and sales from last year tell us that the global art market is booming so for serious collectors it's the place to be. come to art basel with a suitcase full of cash and you can shop around in style see anything you like called or. i should go. maybe this picasso. she didn't do. because those woman with joerg can be yours for a cool 28000000 euros. and if you keep shopping you'll find even more big names here at art basel you can take home this miro for 22000000 euros. in the last years huge price tags have blown the global art market up to check gansett proportions we've seen 2 years of consistent growth and it grew last year by about 6 percent so it's reached about 67000000000 sorry i mean you can see by 5 and learn it doesn't spark the interest of the kind of mainstream investment community even at this stage it is it is the big business. the same big names are selling for more and more. but overall many say the art world is in crisis smal

buyers hunting for museum quality goods even fears of a recession haven't stopped top end gallery ists and consultants telling rich investors to buy buy buy the truth is if you're worth a 1000000000 plus dollars today and the market corrects by 30 percent and you're worth 3 quarters of a $1000000000.00 tomorrow it's not really going to stymie you too much from going ahead and purchasing work if you so choose to. the united states still dominates global art so it was with 44 percent of the market although china is catching up at 19 percent. this year's art basel shows many contemporary artists trending toward activism with works focused on climate change for the me too movement against sexual harassment and abuse. the art itself is becoming more critical political forward looking at the art market only has room for a few elites. and my colleague david leavitt's is here with more on this david those are some unbelievably heavy price tags there is this what they are basel is now concentrating on really just the kremlin oh yeah this is i mean you know the art the art world these people tha

that was in the gallery.d him, what was the best part of being in our gallery. was and what is the worst thing? he said the worst thing is the people that are not going to buy the art. so that felt like maybe we should walk out right now. the thought was, what if we had a place where you could go to and art gallery, bring friends, meet friends, meet the artists. you are not pressured to buy anything. there is no person waiting for you to make and offer. this is a place where you could borrow or by art. >> were defined the artist? >> most of them are just here in the bay area. we look at instagram, local bay area artists. artist that i know. the jacket that i am wearing his foreman artist. people that we have either met, through social media, we have reached out. we've asked if you want to be part of it. from there, they tell their artist friends. >> you're going to have quite a few people showing up at the open house. you do this once a month, correct? >> it is every third thursday. it is in downtown oakland.

we knew we needed a battle of midway galleries. sometimes it's just logistics, if summary is going to california for an interview and they can get more than the one they know they are going for and we can get for five interviews on that one trip, that was how that came about. some of it is luck. have of the time you will an -- a historian do the interview. one of our friends is also still with us. and probably a good subject for you to interview next. orot of times we got calls emails from family members, from neighbors, people saying this is a person in our community in our life that we think has a compelling story that needs to be told, that needs to be heard. will send a historian out there. we have traveling historians to this day who are going out there . >> with thousands of hours of interviews, how do you catalogue all this, and how do you display to the public who comes to your museum in new orleans? >> we are currently in the process of a 10 year, more than $11 million plan to publish all these oral histories. there are hu

so we knew we needed a battle of midway gallery, we knew we needed to find veterans from the battle of midway. sometimes it's just logistics, if somebody is already going to california for an interview and they can get more than the one they know they are going for, and we can get four or five interviews on that one trip, that was how that came about. some of it is luck. a lot of the time you will have a historian go out and do an interview and the person they are interviewing or their family will say one of our friends is also still with us. and would probably be a really good subject for you to interview next. and then a lot of the times we have just gotten calls from people or emails from family members, from neighbors, people who say this is a person in our community, in our life that we think has a compelling story that needs to be told, that needs to be heard. we assess it and we will send a historian out there. we have traveling historians to this day who are going out there and collecting. steve: so clearly with thousands of hours of interviews, how do you catalogue all this, a
