Art as a Global Business: The Value of Art

Xiaoliang Zhang

Art as a Global Business: The Value of Art introduces you to the current artistic scene and markets whilst exploring the historical backgrounds that made them what they are today. The course shares essential information about the key art market makers and influencers and clearly explains the structures, dynamics, and the legal context within which they operate. Each week is specifically designed to build knowledge of Old Masters and Contemporary art alike, looking at the past to better understand and more firmly grasp the importance of Contemporary developments. The complexities associated with the production, circulation and validation of art form the basis of group discussions. Beyond considering the importance of the substantial amounts of money involved in dealing in art, this course also gives you the opportunity to carefully consider the challenges, risks, and opportunities inherent in the market.
