In September 2009 I started the study trajectory at the Rotterdam School of Management. The choice for International Business Administration was a strategic one. It gave me the chance to postpone big life choices that I was not yet ready to make. The general character of the bachelor however quickly became a reason to look beyond academics and into practical areas to find out where my passions lie. This led me to Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen where I gained insight into the cultural sector and all its pressing issues. And so the seed was planted. I wish to thank my thesis supervisor, Marilena Vecco. She was a valuable addition to my thinking process. She guided me towards an interesting research topic and provided exciting sources to enrich my thesis. Without her help, I would have been working until April. Besides Marilena, another essential factor in the research process was Giacomo Di Benedetto. Thanks to Giacomo I was able to obtain data efficiently and interpret it correctly. Especially the combination of Marilena and Giacomo was much appreciated help. Furthermore I wish to thank my parents, who always challenged me in all my choices. They are also the ones who introduced me to the wide variety of academic fields that I could be active in, which made my life much more difficult, but eventually gave me more insight. I wish to thank my sisters. They helped me with every difficult step, both study related and social, that I took to get where I am now and who I know will be there with every next step that I take. Also I would like to thank the two recent additions to the family. They too were invaluable in this process and were always good for comic relief. Lastly I would like to thank my friends. They went through the same process that I went through during every stage of my student life. Therefore they were the constant reflection of my actions. They so were able to guide me to where I am now. 4 Abstract The art market has been the subject of academic research for decades. Research topics vary from art returns to the drivers of art prices to the relationship between the art market and the stock market. The limited accessibility of art sales data and the heterogeneity of artworks make it difficult to come to a conclusion on any of these issues. Scholars therefore come up with a variety of methods to overcome the data problems. One of these methods is an advanced application of the Hedonic Pricing method, called the Heckit model. This model decreases the selection bias that occurs in art market research by including non-sales in the sample. This thesis uses the Heckit model to obtain the Conceptual Art Index (CAI). The CAI is used to research the relationship between the Conceptual Art market and the stock market in the UK from January 2000 until October 2014. Prior researches have shown that there is a lagged relationship between the art market and financial markets. This thesis does not provide results that proof the existence of this relationship. The results show that there is no significant short-term relationship between the Conceptual Art market and the UK stock market. There is evidence indicating a long-term relationship, but the evidence is weak. Besides that, comparison of the CAI with an index obtained with a traditional Hedonic Pricing model shows that there is no significant selection bias occurring due to non-random selection. This latter result indicates that the Heckit model is not superior to the traditional Hedonic Pricing method. This thesis provides input for further research on the added value of the Heckit model as well as on the relationship between the art market and financial markets.

  • Alex Flemming Und Damien Hirst: Zur Rolle Von Peripherie Und Zentrum Bei Zeitgenössischen Künstlerkarrieren
    Ute Hermanns (Berlin) Alex Flemming und Damien Hirst: zur Rolle von Peripherie und Zentrum bei zeitgenössischen Künstlerkarrieren 1 Einleitung Als im Oktober 1998 der fünfunddreißigjährige nigerianische Kunstkritiker, Ausstellungsmacher und Kurator der letzten Südafrika-Biennale Okwui Enwezor zum Chef der Documenta XI im Jahr 2002 gewählt wurde, ist ein Wandel in der Bewer­ tung von zeitgenössischer Kunst vollzogen worden. Der Para­ digmenwechsel ist in der Kunst endgültig bestätigt: Zum ersten Mal übernimmt ein Kurator aus einem nicht­ europäischen Land die Leitung einer Documenta. Sein Blick wird auf die Länder fallen, die im traditionell europäisch­ amerikanisch ausgerichteten Kunstmarkt bislang nur Neben­ schauplätze gewesen sind. Pressestimmen fragen: Wird die nächste documenta nun ihren Besuchern eine Schocktherapie in Sachen außereuropäischer Kultur zumuten? ... Werden Kunstkonsumenten, deren Blick an Videos und eingelegten Haien geschult wurde, hilflos vor Werken aus Holz oder Jute stehen und zagen, weil ihre Kriterien versagen? (Der Spiegel 45, 2. November 1998, S. 290). Es gebe keinen «angemessenen Umgang mit Kunst», sagt Enwezor, «das ist keine Frage der Moral oder der politischen Korrektheit». Notwendig sei vor allem der Wille, die Werke aus ihren eigenen Zusammenhängen heraus zu verstehen, und das sei «eine Reise, die viel Zeit, Disziplin, Geduld und Informa- Eliana de Simone / Henry Thorau (Hrsg.): Kulturelle Identität im Zeitalter der Mobilität: zum portugiesischsprachigen Theater der Gegenwart und zur Präsenz zeitgenössischer brasilianischer und portugiesischer Kunst in Deutschland, Frankfurt am Main: TFM, 2000, ISBN 3-925203-77-X, S. 277-294 278 Ute Hermanns tion» erfordere. «Wenn es einen Schock gibt», so Okwui Enwezor, «dann den, daß es keinen einfachen Diskurs mehr über Zentrum und Peripherie gibt» ( Der Spiegel 45, 2.

Wie der Sport verbindet die bilden- de Kunst die Kulturen. Als universelle Sprache, die von allen gesprochen und verstanden wird, ist sie ein einzigartiges Medium, in dem sich die unterschiedlichen Stimmen Gehör verschaffen können. Die Arbeit der Qatar Museums Authority wird von der Überzeugung getragen, dass Kunst – auch kontroverse Kunst – Missverständnisse beseitigen und den Austausch zwischen den verschiedenen Nationen, Menschen und Traditionen anregen kann. Wir waren daher sehr erfreut, als Damien Hirst uns um die Unterstützung seiner Ausstellung in der Tate Modern bat.

These artists demonstrate a labor-intensive and exacting artistic passion in their respective processes. As Chuck Close fittingly reflects with respect to his own work, "I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine...Most of the pleas ure is in getting the last little piece perfect."

  • The New Portraiture
    ALTERED IMAGES: THE NEW PORTRAITURE Simply painting a portrait is so last century. Nowadays, leading artists are using diverse methods, from computer technology to neon signs, to depict a person’s character Louisa Buck, The Telegraph Luxury, 8 October 2015 Alessandro Raho, Michael Craig Martin, 2012, (left); Polka Dot Man, 2015, (right), Picture: Alessandro Raho. Courtesy of Alison Jacques Gallery From primitive images of hunters on cave walls to portraits of Medici popes and princes, the urge to portray and to be portrayed is as old as art itself. And even in our current era of selfies, Snapchat and Instagram when everyone’s smartphone can take a top-quality snap, there remains a hunger for a more formal portraiture: the National Portrait Gallery’s annual BP Portrait Award packs in the crowds every year and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters continues to rake in commissions. But at the same time the definition of what now constitutes a bespoke portrait has become as broad and as various as art itself, and many of our most progressive artists are pushing back the boundaries of the made-to- order likeness for their own artistic ends. Marc Quinn has not only produced a series of self-portrait busts from his own frozen blood, but his portrayal of Sir John Edward Sulston hanging in the NPG consists of the geneticist’s own DNA (taken from a sperm sample) preserved in agar jelly and mounted in stainless steel. Rather more restrained is German artist Tobias Rehberger’s practice of portraying his subjects as sculptured flowers in vases – patrons are invited to bring along their favourite blooms – while French artist Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster’s family portrait for Cincinatti collector Andy Stillpass took the form of a freestanding metal clothesline festooned with white clothes belonging to each family member.

OBJETIVO DO CURSO O curso busca qualificar a atividade de crítico-curador de arte e se propõe a oferecer uma ampla formação técnica e metodológica, apresentando os fundamentos teóricos e práticos para o bom exercício profissional. Como diferencial, nos propomos superar a formação vigente na área, ao incluir além da formação prática, essencial e necessária à atividade curatorial fornecida no programa de planejamento e produção de exposições, uma formação conceitual, dando fundamentos para que este possa exercer sólidos juízos críticos e avaliativos sobre a produção artística. Capacitando o futuro crítico/curador, tal qual as mais renomadas instituições dos grandes centros de arte do mundo, a encontrar soluções para as questões inerentes às diversas etapas da conceituação, planejamento, produção e execução das exposições de artes.
