Is the Killer Art Market Killing Art?
ADAA Collectors' Forum
Saturday, March 29, 10:00AM
Are the extravagant prices and record sales of the current art market affecting the creation and presentation of contemporary art?
ADAA brings together curators, artists, and gallery owners to discuss the implications of today's "killer market" and its influence on how we look at art.
The panelists will discuss such questions as: How do market forces impact the art being made today? Do these forces change the way the public approaches work? How can we make a distinction between art, fashion and design when confronted with the overwhelming commodification of culture? How does one find meaning in art if its significance is equated with its price?
