Produktbeschreibung
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the professional activities of the art business. Addressing this fast-moving industry, The Art Business: Art World, Art Market analyses the sector's institutions and structures, including galleries, auction houses and art fairs.

The rapid development of art finance and its deployment of art as an asset class are covered, and up to moment observations are delivered on the quickly evolving auction system that includes dramatic changes at the major auction houses, Sotheby's and Christie's. This edition highlights growing crises in the market including the ever more unbearable costs of art fair attendance and the lack of a reliable system for establishing ownership and title of artworks. Ever more pressing ethical issues such as toxic museum donors, cultural heritage compliance, and problems of corrupt provenances are explored in detail. Enhanced by new data analytics on the US art market, the author also distils advice and guidance for working art professionals hoping to build their careers.

The result is an up-to-date picture of an art business suitable for students and practitioners across the creative sector.

Rezensionen
"M.A. programs in 'Business of Art' are coming to seem increasingly important. Yet there is hardly a suitable textbook to hand out to students. Dr Taylor's volume brilliantly fills the gap by introducing a broad range of relevant topics from a practical, theoretical, and historical perspective." Christian Huemer, Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, Austria
