Summary
"Step into the global art market. Master how art is valued, traded, and circulated, and shape the business of art.
The MA in Art Business at Sotheby’s Institute of Art was the first program of its kind, and its innovative curriculum continues to set the industry standard.
This program draws on fields such as finance and management, law and ethics, and art market studies to help students develop both a critical and practical understanding of the art business.
Along the way, artists, dealers, curators, art advisors, appraisers, and auction house specialists engage in a complex collaboration that builds and sustains the value of both the work and the careers and interests tied to it. This pioneering Art Business program provides a pathway into this dynamic ecosystem.
Graduates of this program will thus emerge with the ability to place the art object within both its aesthetic and commercial context, and to discuss the legal and ethical implications of its historical provenance and current location.
Highlights Experiential learning Visits and international study trips are significant learning events, with the travel, seeing the art in situ and informal access to tutors serving to intensify the experience.
