Book Launch: Luxury Brand and Art Collaborations by Dr Federica Carlotto

Over the past two decades, collaborative initiatives between luxury brands and the art world have been increasing in number and relevance, becoming one of the most engaging ways for luxury brands to connect with their audiences. Are art collaborations just a business strategy for luxury brands to counterbalance their volume issue and elevate their offerings, or do they reflect a much deeper evolution in the way we consume objects, contents, and ideas?

Join Federica Carlotto, in conversation with Jeffrey Boloten, Director of SIA Art Business and Enterprise Programs, unpacking this exciting phenomenon in its social and cultural roots and implications for consumption.

The discussion will be followed by a drinks reception.

Limited Capacity, please RSVP
