The Art of Collecting: A Political Investment--OLLI at U-M (50+)
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at U-M
Speaker: Joseph Rosa, M.S. Director of the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)
Join a wide-ranging and lively conversation with Joseph Rosa, Director of the U-M Museum of Art (UMMA), about the political effects on today’s art market – for
both museums and private collectors. What makes an artist “hot”? What politics drive emerging talent onto the auction block? How do we resolve the ever-increasing prices for works by artists like Jeff Koons versus cherished old Masters? Learn how museums keep pace with acquisitions, and what they do when they discover forgotten Picassos or are pressured to sell priceless masterpieces.
