It seems to be that there is always commotion in the ‘art market’, for example on the sheer amounts of money paid for works of art. For an artist who brings out his works in the open it is reassuring to know that there is a “loving” audience. But it is also a necessity that there are art lovers who want to buy art and add them to a collection.
Art is the ultimate personal statement. First of all because it is an expression of the maker and secondly because of a person who owns it and who puts it on display. The bond between artist, artwork and collector is a very important one to acknowledge. In this course we immerse ourselves into the phenomenon of art collecting. We shed light on the case by clarifying the importance from the viewpoints of all involved: the artist, the gallerist, the collector and others.
The course ‘Collecting art, where to start?’ is a great onset of departure for everyone who connects with collecting art. Besides the theoretical lessons about what we could call the rules of the game, and defining the playing field of art selling and buying, we also include an additional opt in for a few organized gatherings and visits.
