Concentration Track in Art Markets and Finance

Last edition

A broad perspective is crucial for fully understanding the Art Market, as this sector is characterized by constant evolution, with emerging phenomena such as financialization (e.g., art lending) and tokenization (e.g., Non-Fungible Tokens) of artworks. By engaging with prominent players in the Art Market, participants gain a comprehensive view of the roles of collectors and investors, galleries, advisors, fairs, and auction houses in shaping the dynamics of the international art scene. This knowledge equips them with valuable insights and perspectives for navigating the complexities of the art world effectively.

The program consists of two learning modules for a total of 12 full days.

Each module consists in a week (Monday to Saturday from 8:30 to 4pm)

Extra visits or trips to Art Fairs could be organized on top of the classes (i.e. in other days) and will be elective.

The Concentration Track in Art Markets and Finance is also offered as an Open Executive Program
