Event overview

UNDERSTANDING THE VALUE OF ART

 

The value of art

Are ‘good art’ and ‘valuable art’ one and the same? Who are the decision makers? Can art be too expensive or does the adage, ‘It's worth as much as someone is prepared to pay for it’ still hold true?

The psychology of buying art

The motives for entering into the market: the individual - personal pleasure or the display of wealth and success. Why buy for an office, hospital, private or public collection? What is the impact of individual arbiters of taste who create value?

The changing dynamics of the art market

The historical context of commissioning and buying art – from the patronage of the Medicis to the Saatchi’s of today. There is a proliferation of art fairs, biennials and galleries worldwide creating more activity in the art market. Is buying art still a pastime of the elite or is it becoming more democratic? What are the perceived centres of artistic excellence today?

What does the future hold for art prices?

With galleries struggling and recent problems at major auction houses, does the future of art transactions lie with these traditional models? Do past fluctuations in art prices hold any lessons for the future?
