Global Conference 2014
Art 360: Passion, Wealth and the Business of Art
Wednesday, April 30, 2014 / 2:45 pm - 3:45 pm
The business of art has seen dramatic changes over the past decade, and an influx of investment capital has helped shatter auction records. This first-of-its-kind panel will explore the art world from the perspectives of its major stakeholders. Museums are big business, serving as the cultural centers of world capitals, attracting millions of visitors and informing educational curricula. Galleries, online sales and the exclusive worldwide show circuit all attract a diverse and often elite group who populate the market for classics and limited editions while hunting for the next master. And collectors themselves are often both savvy investors and passionate connoisseurs who appreciate the tradition of assembling unmatched troves. This is a conversation to indulge in, about the art of curating and collecting art--and a careful assessment of an often-overlooked asset class.
