Afternoon Lectures: The Art Market
Two afternoon lectures on how the art market really works — from the dealers who shape it to the collectors who sell into it. Free to members.
The Power of Prominent Art Dealers
by: Julie Schauer
How powerful are art dealers in determining what is significant art?
Julie Schauer will draw upon her time working at Richard Gray Gallery, Chicago, in the 1980s, an eye-opening experience into the “business of art.”
She’ll try to demystify the power of art dealers, and the relationship between artists and dealers. Why do dealers promote certain artists—some of whom reach museums—while overlooking others of great talent?
Besides Richard Gray, she will discuss the New York art world and those who promoted cutting-edge art of the late 20th Century.
Provenance and How Collectors Sell Fine Art
By: Sherryl Brown
Many collectors of fine art are unaware of the true value of the works of art they own. This lecture delves into the world of documentation, provenance, and the essential stewardship every collector needs to protect their legacy. From meticulous record‑keeping to understanding the realities of the transfer or disposition of artwork, we will learn why knowledge is the collector’s greatest safeguard.
Join us for this enlightening presentation that blends practical advice with fascinating insights—one that will leave you with a fresh appreciation for the art in your own home.
