Inspired by the success of the two previous Art Markets Summer School held in Lyon, in June 2019, and in Antwerp-Brussels, in July 2022, a third edition of this unique research, training and networking experience will take place in July 2023, in Portugal, organized by the Art History Institute (IHA).
The art market is essentially a multidisciplinary object of study. While it is now a significant sector of the global economy, it has long played a seminal role in the circulation and reception of art, and provided the context within which artists created their work. Researchers from disciplines as diverse as economics, finance, law, history, art history or sociology have contributed to a better understanding of the complexity and specificity of this market arena. However, despite the advances made in each of these fields, research on the art market still too often suffers from a compartmentalization by discipline.
In this sense, “Art Market: an integrated perspective” is a thematic Summer School that aims to bring together the international community of researchers working on the art market and to familiarize participants with the scientific approaches of other fields. Sharing a common knowledge base and concepts is a necessary condition for developing transdisciplinary collaborations.To this end, this training offers an interdisciplinary theoretical approach and introduces the participants to empirical tools applied in the most up-to-date analytical methods.
This will be an immersive experience that will inspire and shape new interdisciplinary thinking about the emergence, history and governance of art markets around the world. In the 2023 edition, participants with academic and/or professional interest in the dynamics of the art market will be able to join international experts from fields such as Art History, Economics, Sociology, Finance and Digital Humanities. Together they will present, share and discuss theoretical approaches, conceptual frameworks and methodological tools in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
It will take place in Lisbon, at Hotel Golf Mar, Vimeiro, from 10 to 14 July, and includes a visit to the National Museum of Ancient Art and the auction house Palácio do Correio Velho where two workshops will be held.
