Description: Who and what defines value in the art world?
Is it the artist? The buyer? The auction house? And how are digital technologies influencing the way art is produced and perceived? In this course we will find some answers to these questions by looking at the intersection of the art and the professional worlds.
Over the course of the semester, we will explore different angles through collaborative seminars, field trips to museums and galleries in Houston as well as guest lectures by successful international professionals from the art world and beyond.
