This one-year master’s program aims to give students effective tools to interpret the dynamics of the art market, with a particular focus on contemporary artistic languages. The program consists of two cycles to provide relevant skills and a methodical strategy within the main areas of the modern art world.
The first part of the program is devoted to classroom activities, workshops and visits to galleries, foundations and museums. The second focuses on internships, allowing students to experience different market areas up close, and on final projects. Students also participate in study trips to Artissima in Turin and Art Basel, the industry’s most important fairs.
