An international line-up of experts, including investment and tax specialists, academics, a leading museum curator and a private collector will take part in a symposium on the art market, to be held on 16 March 2012 as one of the events marking TEFAF Maastricht’s Silver Jubilee.
For Love or For Money will examine the evolution of the market and identify the major economic, technological, cultural and demographic forces which have changed the way that art is bought and sold worldwide. It will reveal innovative approaches to sourcing, funding and displaying works of art and its influential participants will outline how the world of tomorrow will differ from today, spelling out the implications for those buying, selling and collecting art.
The symposium will be held from 09.00 to 12.00 at the MECC (Maastricht Exhibition and Congress Centre), where the 25th edition of TEFAF Maastricht, the world’s best art and antiques fair, will take place from 16 - 25 March 2012. Entry to the event in Auditorium 2 will cost €95 for members of the public. Journalists will be able to attend without charge but will need to register. The procedure for registration is explained below.
The symposium is part of a series of events and initiatives marking TEFAF Maastricht’s Silver Jubilee and also reflects the Fair’s longstanding commitment to studying the international art market. It publishes an independently-researched Art Market Report each year and the findings of this year’s study will be examined and explained at the symposium.
