Art & Markets

ARTHIST 508S // ECON 321S // VMS 567S
The goal of this seminar is to be a follow-‐up to History of Art Markets (ARTHIST 231D; ECON 344D; VMS 242D). Here, however, the objective is to engage in advanced research on historical art markets, the emergence of new art markets, and interactions between market behavior and artistic production. Research in Art Markets involved many unanswered empirical questions that require a cross-‐disciplinary, methodological framework for developing new work hypothesis and empirically testable propositions. This requires a combination of humanistic, scientific and social scientific methodologies. In this seminar, students work in cross-‐disciplinary teams (composed of at least one representative of the humanities, sciences and social sciences) in consultation with the DALMI Teaching and Research Assistant Team. The pedagogical objective here is to effectively work as a vertically integrated team (graduates and undergraduates from the humanities, sciences and social sciences, as well as JD/MA and MBA students) on one specific research topic over the course of the semester. Individual disciplinary skillsets and methodologies are combined in one coherent research question involving a jointly integrated methodology.
