Becoming a Gallerist
Intensive course on collecting contemporary art
How to scout young artists? How to understand properly what the expression “art system” means today? Which are the must-see events? How to answer to the collector’s requests? Which are the differences between primary and secondary market? How to insure the art works? How to set up an appropriate networking with museums and auction houses, in order to manage their own gallery to success?
After the success of Collector, which was the first course in Italy on collecting contemporary art, The Centro Pecci organizes Essere Gallerista (Becoming a Gallerist). The intensive course focuses on how to become a gallerist and it is addressed to those who want to start a career in this area and want to shape their skills, enhancing the art market.
The participants will have the opportunity to get in touch with a considerable number of professional experts in this area, such as Matthew Slotover, founder of Frieze, the curator Adam Budak, the gallerist Massimo Minini, and the collector Maurizio Morra Greco.
