Hi All,
me a just a few of the undergrads went on a field trip to London on Wednesday this week, as part of the level 3 module 'The Art Market: moments, methodologies and meanings'. Here they are outside of Sotheby's in Bond Street....we visited quite a few 'spaces and places' associated with the art market...including some major dealerships such as Marlborough Fine Art, Richard Green (who was packing off for the art fair in Maastricht), Mallet (the famous furniture and dec art dealers) and, of course, White Cube. We also took in an auction sale at Bonhams, Bond Street, and whilst there were'nt any spectacular prices at the sale, the students did see the intense social processes at work in these 'Tournaments of Value' (as cultural theorists call such events).
Anyway, more anon on the relationships between art market and the museum....
Mark
