About the Event
Join Evan Beard, President of Level & Co., for a peek at what drives today's global art market. He will take us behind the attention-grabbing headlines to reveal the psychological and economic principles that govern the madness of the art world.
He will examine:
- How art performs as an investable asset
- The behavioral economic tricks that help the market function
- The different psychological impulses that drive the market
- What actually drives the price of paintings over the long term
