This class is all about demystifying the process of buying contemporary art. You will get a mini crash course on the key art dealers of the Modern, Post War and Pop Art eras and how they helped shape today’s Contemporary Art Market. We will spend time helping you define your collecting goals while learning about the various types of art galleries and other places to buy art such as online markets and auction houses. You will gain tips on how to safely shop in both primary and secondary markets, what questions to ask, and how to develop an eye for quality. We will also discuss the pricing of art and when (and when not) to think of an art purchase as an investment. Instructor: Gina Fraone
