The Business of Art: The Economics and Management of Culture

3 Credits

Markets for visual arts provide a particularly fertile ground for those concerned with the economics of culture. The study of the past and current structure of the market for visual art, the mechanisms that fuel this flourishing market and the involvement of public and private institutions in the context of the current globalization of the arts, provides significant instruments for the development of museum management studies, as well as a different methodological approach to art history and history of culture management.
