Fine art has been increasingly marketed, collected, and valued as a financial asset. This introductory course will explore the various financial positions possible in today’s international art market, including direct purchases, art funds and art exchanges, as well as art lending and the creation of private foundations. Participants will be asked to consider ethical implications deriving from the “financialization” of art and to develop their own perspectives on the relationship between art and commerce. These considerations will inform discussions about art investment -especially speculative-, as well as current and future regulation of the largest global art markets. This course will include case studies that address art market trends, including the advent of new digital platforms, and will introduce basic art and financial market tools and vocabulary to assist participants in comparing differing expert positions and reviewing market data. Each course module is taught by an industry expert and all together students will be exposed to a variety of voices from exceptional professionals in the field.
