Demystifying The Art World: Art Buyer's Guide

Defining the beholder whose eye is in question – this panel will peel back layers of the art world from a marketplace perspective as well as from an institutional and historical context.

Art spans many purposes depending on who is being asked. Art memorializes a segment of cultural history, it validates intellectual curiosity, and it can provide decoration for a art collector’s home. This intent and drive behind the creation of work and the purchase of work results in an economic engine for the global elite. The panel will engage in a dialogue that will assist the audience in understanding their place in this diverse landscape.

Speakers: PEGGY HOLLANDER, WILLIAM RICHMOND-WATSON, JOHN WOLF
