Summary
Are you looking to build your career in the dynamic international art market? Does the opportunity to pursue advanced study and research on Art and Business from both a contemporary and a historical perspective excite you?
The Courtauld’s new one-year MA in Art and Business, taught in collaboration with King’s Business School, offers an unparalleled opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge you’ll need to succeed in today’s commercial art world. You’ll learn from an extraordinary range of experts in their field through an MA that draws on The Courtauld’s rich resources as a centre for learning about the visual arts and King’s excellence in business teaching.
The course will offer you a unique insight into the ecology of today’s art markets and provide an in-depth understanding of the systems underpinning them. You’ll explore the development of Western art markets since the seventeenth century, charting how diverse works of art have been traded, appraised, advertised, and contested as well as how the market has transformed artistic practice. You’ll also gain the financial, business, and entrepreneurial expertise required to succeed in the art world.
During the course, you will engage regularly with some of the most successful and influential figures of today’s art world, including gallerists, auction-house specialists, art lawyers, art fair organisers, art advisors, curators, artists and critics. You’ll also be able to work directly with The Courtauld’s exceptional art collection and benefit from the experience of going on numerous field trips with your tutors, including an all-group field trip to Europe.
