Money and Marketing in the Art World
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-87189-9 (ISBN)
How does the art market choose its winners, thereby also deciding what millions of visitors to galleries and museums will view, year after year? Whereas art historical writing and contemporary commentary tend to highlight the efforts of specific artists, this book illustrates how money and marketing, in combination with general trends, play decisive roles in shaping the art world and in propelling specific artists and artworks to positions of prominence.
Today, perhaps more than ever before, the high-profile art world is primarily shaped by buyers and those who cater to buyers. The actual artists, although most visible to the public, tend to play a secondary role. The time seems particularly ripe for transparency about how the art world works, given the growth in the art market, media attention on—and popular interest in—high-priced art, and controversy surrounding public funding for art and the value of art for contemporary society. With a combination of marketplace observations, marketing insights, and relevant research findings, this book contributes to increased transparency while providing thought-provoking digressions and anecdotes along the way.
Money and Marketing in the Art World offers an accessible analysis of the art market for scholars and graduate students across arts marketing and management, as well as for those more broadly interested in art and business.
Henrik Hagtvedt studied at art schools in Norway, Denmark, and Italy before enjoying an international career as a visual artist, exhibiting in galleries and museums in Europe and Asia. He was thereby exposed to the inner sanctums of the art world, which sparked his curiosity about how the art market really works, eventually prompting him to return to school. After completing a degree in art history, he went on to earn an MBA and a PhD, both with a major in marketing. He is now a marketing professor at Boston College, and much of his research is focused on art and aesthetics. He has published a number of scholarly articles in top journals in the fields of marketing, psychology, and neuroscience, and his research has been featured in dozens of major news outlets around the world. He has presented this work at national and international conferences and has been invited to speak at diverse venues, ranging from the Western States Arts Federation to the Federal Reserve Bank. He has been designated an MSI Scholar by the Marketing Science Institute, which recognizes internationally leading marketing scholars. His interests also tend to reflect an international perspective, as he has lived in diverse countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America, in addition to traveling extensively throughout his life.
