The Art of Speculation: Blockbusters, Billionaires, and the Art Dream
Since the late 80s and early 90s, masterpieces of notable artists began to be treated as high-value financial assets and started to disappear from public view. Concurrently, the price tags on artworks sold at auction houses have risen exponentially. How do these shifts affect art's cultural legacy and social equity? How can you be a more informed buyer/investor in the art market? Learn about the intricate dynamics of art speculation, from elite auction houses to offshore storage, and how these trends reshape our connection to creative expression.
