" Ihr könnt nicht Gott dienen und dem Mammon".- "You can not serve both God and Mammon."
When I first encountered the word "Mammon" on a printed card in a church at the age of seven or eight, I turned to my mother to enquire what it means...
And she replied "money".
"......Be what it is, The Action of my life is like it, which I'll keep if but for sympathy."

Kunstmarkt und Kunstfälschung - aus gegebenem Anlaß
"Im Reich der Zwecke", sagt Kant," hat alles entweder einen Preis, oder eine Würde. Was einen Preis hat, an dessen Stelle kann auch etwas anderes, als äquivalent, gesetzt werden; was dagegen über allen Preis erhaben ist, mithin kein Äquivalent verstattet, das hat eine Würde."
Konsequent zu Ende gedacht, was wäre dann ein Kunstmarkt, wenn man Kunst unter die Kategorie des Originalen also Nicht-Äquivalenten fassen würde?!
PS: translation: "In the realm of functions", says Kant, "everything bears either a price or dignity. Whatever has a price may be replaced by other equivalent items, whatever is above all price, consequently has no equivalent, has got dignity."
Thoroughly thought through, what would be an art market, if one would consider the category of the original (work of art) as being non-equivalent.
