Modern Art

From the Fauvism of Matisse to the Surrealism of Magritte, this programme has introduced you to the many artistic movements that erupted in European painting during the first half of the twentieth century. Along the way you met the most important European artists, such as Picasso, Mondrian, Duchamp and Dali, amongst many others. You learned about the radical developments that transformed European art, and about some of the great works that have sold at Christie’s. In special features that accompanied the course, you learned about the market for modern art, and how it developed from collectors buying directly from artists, to today’s sales of their works for tens and even hundreds of millions of dollars. This series of exclusive video interviews gave you access to those who helped build the market for modern art, and those currently at the forefront of it.
