The New Art World: Amy Cappellazzo, Paul Schimmel, Stefan Simchowitz & Sarah Thornton

Presented April 16, 2016 at the Nasher Sculpture Center.

In a rapidly changing market, who defines the value of art? How can collectors navigate an industry that is increasingly complex in terms of geography and channels of distribution? A panel of art world players with divergent perspectives on the buying and selling of art discuss the shifting hierarchies and new structures that are changing the way sculpture is marketed and thought about.
