520    "A story about love, art, and the 2008 financial crisis. 
       Towards the end of the 18th century, twenty-four traders 
       would meet under a tree to buy and sell shares. The tree 
       was located at 68 Wall Street, so called because of a wall
       that used to mark the northern limits of the colony of New
       Amsterdam, on the Island of Manhattan.On May 17, 1792, the
       twenty-four brokers signed, beneath the tree, the 
       Buttonwood Agreement. This marked the foundation of the 
       New York Stock Exchange, and the birth of Wall 
       Street.Today, the tree on Wall Street has long since 
       fallen, and the twenty-four traders' transactions have 
       become complex to the point of being almost intangible and
       immaterial. Finance has become an abstraction; it pervades
       every sphere of our lives, including contemporary art. 
       Especially contemporary art. This love story, based on 
       documentary research, follows a struggling artist and an 
       opportunistic hedge fund manager. As Lehman Brothers falls
       and two worlds collide, we explore the darkest corners of 
       the contemporary art scene, the global economy, and two 
       broken hearts."--|cProvided by Freading.
