Why do we create museums and endeavor to have our own art collections? What are the historical precedents? This course is one in a series of five that traces the emergence of each of the following art forms: Painting, Drawings + Works on Paper, Fine Art Prints, Sculpture, and Ceramics. Discussions include the emergence of the art collector with a particular emphasis on this history as it pertains to New York City.
This course is designed as a practical guide to curating a collection of fine works, including selection, placement, budgeting and installing. The discussion showcases a multitude of works, in each art form, that are available for purchase today together with an insider’s guide to a range of galleries, dealers, art fairs, and auctions.
