PhD Summer School: Critical Studies in the Art Market
Once a year the Zeppelin University Graduate Schhol offers a Summer School on selected topics essential to culture and society. Renowned international scientists discuss possible solutions to far-reaching questions in and between the fields of economics, politics, and culture with PhD candidates from all over the world. This year the Summer School's issue is "Critical Studies in the Art Market". The art market is often described in terms of its superlatives: the record prices, the bubbles. Anecdotes of super-rich collectors dominate the public perceptions of the art market. Yet, despite its ubiquity within the media, only a limited number of art historians, economists and sociologists have dealt specifically with the art market and its history. Recently, however, there has been a realization that the art market is a field of study in itself: one that requires new forms of research. The demand for expertise in this field is rising consistently. New Masters programs that promise novel insights into the history of collecting and trading art have emerged and extended worldwide. Students enter these programs seeking a systematic understanding and knowledge beyond those of the anecdotal. The 3rd PhD Summer School will take place from 15 - 19 June 2015 at Lake Constance, Campus Seemooser Horn.
The summer school Studies in the Art Market at Zeppelin University brings together established experts from art sociology, art economics and art theory, all of whom have contributed landmark research in this emerging field. Drawing on their expertise, researchers will allow insights into their current research projects. Within a format of workshops, seminars and lectures, participants will have direct access to this high level research and the opportunity to discuss these insights at first-hand. The focus will be on providing students with ideas and methodologies with which to tackle the pressing questions and to examine critically existing approaches within the field. Both Masters and PhD students will be able to gain new understandings into the range of possibilities for research within this area.
The summer school will be completed by an excursion to Art Basel, generally considered the most important art fair in the world. Here, only a two hour train ride away from Zeppelin University, participants will have a unique and privileged opportunity to engage with some of the most influential individuals in the art market field.
