Sotheby’s Institute of Art Certification
Art as a Global Business: The Value of Art

This certification provides essential information about the systems, structures, and dynamics that drive the art market to reveal the key influencers and the legal context within which they operate. Designed to build knowledge of Old Masters and contemporary art alike, each week evaluates how newer artists garner prestige, and how newsworthy sales drive the market internationally. Course materials also analyze the art market from a current viewpoint and trace the market’s historical roots, providing an in-depth picture of how today’s market came into being. Beyond considering the importance of the substantial amounts of money involved in the dealing of art, this course also allows students to carefully consider the challenges, risks, and opportunities inherent in the market.

It is my hope that I can offer the added value of guidance in selling, donating or downsizing a personal art collection that is currently exhibited in the homes of my clients who are avid collectors. Along with this designation, I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Sculpture.
