WORKSHOP: Art Markets and Politics. State Control and Trade in Global Perspective
Saturday, 05/11/2016
Languages: German and English
The fifth workshop of Forum Kunst und Markt/Centre for Art Market Studies investigates the intervention of politics into the dealings of the art trade in a global perspective: What opportunities do the art markets gain and lose in different political systems and the resulting diverse forms of government (monarchy, dictatorship, democracy etc.)? Which authorities and institutions are involved in specifying the political guidelines and measures? How are these institutions specifically involved and what are the consequences for the trade? How do the art markets react to these acts of state control and intervention?
