The Art Market:
A Concise Guide for Professionals and Collectors (790 Pages)
The Art Market is a comprehensive and practical guide to one of the most fascinating, complex, and often opaque sectors in the world of culture, commerce, and collecting. Written for professionals, collectors, investors, students, and art enthusiasts alike, this book provides a wide-ranging examination of the art market and the many forces that shape it.
Beginning with the structure and history of the market, the book explores its key participants, including artists, collectors, dealers, galleries, auction houses, museums, advisors, and other specialists. It then moves into the legal, financial, and regulatory frameworks that underpin art transactions, offering valuable insight into due diligence, provenance, authentication, contracts, sanctions, AML, KYC, CTF, taxation, and risk management.
The book also examines art acquisition, collection management, valuation, appraisal, conservation, restoration, and lending, while addressing the growing role of art as an asset class within broader wealth planning and investment strategies. Readers are guided through the realities of private sales, auctions, blacklists, brokers, free ports, tax havens, and cross-border transactions, all with an emphasis on clarity and practical relevance.
In addition, The Art Market explores the impact of digital transformation on the sector, including blockchain, NFTs, artificial intelligence, online galleries, the metaverse, and other emerging technologies that are reshaping how art is bought, sold, researched, and authenticated.
