This book explains the 'whys' of modern art in an approachable fashion. If you've ever looked at contemporary art and wondered why someone paid x millions for a sculpture, this book explains the business behind it. The chapter on high-end auction houses wasn't as interesting to me, but it's important for understanding pricing later.
