L'1% C’est Moi
<p>“L’1% C’est Moi,” written in August 2011 for the Berlin-based publication <em>Texte zur Kunst</em>, focuses on the direct relationship between art-market trends and income distribution. The essay’s title refers to the statement “l’état, c’est moi” (“the state, it is me“), attributed to Louis XIV and often evoked to illustrate the principle of absolute monarchy, as well as to Gustave Flaubert’s famous remark, “Madame Bovary, c’est moi.”</p>
