Buying and selling paintings can be a very lucrative business. Five different artists have produced a bunch of paintings, and it's a player's task to be both the buyer and the seller, hopefully making a profit in both roles.

There are five different types of auctions in Modern Art – each one requires a unique strategy if a player hopes to get the best bargain. The value of an artist’s work is determined by how many of their paintings sell. The more popular they are, the more money they will bring. 

The broker with the most cash after four rounds is the winner.
