His experience within the auction industry and outside as an art dealer provides a rounded perspective of the art market and art history.
The Value of Art:
In this lecture Leigh will discuss the value of art in our everyday lives and dissect the reasons why we consume art. Art is a universal language that transcends borders, socioeconomic, political and cultural constructs with numerous shared and distinguished themes. Value can be broken down into five main areas: market, historical, cultural, contextual and sentimental value. All have relevant and contrasting factors that influence the importance and purposes of a piece of art. There are numerous individuals within society who determine value, and Leigh will identify and assess their importance and influence. He will analyse the current art market (primary and secondary), and discuss how trends are introduced and managed in relation to value. He will also discuss how research and provenance are an essential part of determining value in art.
