To take the pulse of the art world, we followed five star players across three continents and documented every moment in their busy schedules, from the time they check their Blackberrys before breakfast to the sealing of the day’s last deal.

Gary Tinterow
The curator Gary Tinterow makes himself more indispensable at the Metropolitan Museum every day. Leslie Camhi tracks one of his busiest.

Christian Deydier
Paris's most influential antiques dealer, Christian Deydier, dodges paparazzi flashes and politely ferrets out fakes a Paula Weideger looks on. 

Bettina Korek
With the young impresario Bettina Korek at the wheel, Jori Finkel hops into the passenger seat for a ride through L.A.'s contemporary-art scene.

Ken Yeh
Between gourmet meals, Christie's Ken Yeh crisscrosses Hong Kong to push the already-booming Asian art market ever higher. Lara Day tags along.

Piot Urlanski
Piotr Urlanski's works blaze with a mixture of sincerity and irony, of banality and the sublime. As he prepares for a big Gagosian debut, Meghan Dailey finds him with blowtorch in hand.
