The Ultimate Guide to the Art Market

Many people are interested in art but hesitate to buy because the art market is often difficult to understand, appears elitist, and lacks transparency. In this book, Dr Ruth Polleit Riechert, a seasoned art historian and market expert, shares her self-developed method for expertly assessing art and purchasing high-quality works at fair prices—a method she has refined over many years. The book also explores trends like artificial intelligence, non-fungible tokens, and blockchain. You'll learn how the art market is digitally transforming and how to benefit from it, how to recognize good art and the quality criteria that matter, which art is suitable as an investment and how to assess its value, whether investing in art pays off and which financial industry strategies can guide you, and how new technologies can assist in your purchase.
