Art Market 101 with the Curious Art Historian

The contemporary art market is fascinating, opaque and full of mystery. In this 45-minute lecture with the Curious Art Historian Janelle Diethelm, you will learn all the basics to help you de-code and better appreciate the many facets of the art world, including:

• The major players of the art market
• How they function & why they're important to the art market
• How they dictate how much art is worth
• Why do people pay so much for art

Absolutely no knowledge of the art market is required; this is meant to be a fun and non-intimidating event in which you can also 'mingle' online with fellow art-full women.

A great event for anyone who:

• has scratched their head over a painting being sold for millions
• has looked at a headline and gone "but who cares if a museum sells its art?"
• is interested in the idea of collecting art (at any budget)
• would like to gain more understanding of and therefore appreciation for contemporary art

The lecture will be 45 minutes, with 15 minutes of Q&A and a 20 minute, interactive post-lecture discussion and quiz designed to test your knowledge and help you get to know one another better at the end.
