Capital in Contemporary Art

An artwork is the product of an artist’s attempt to embody aesthetic concepts, yet we often fail to recognize the hidden realities concealed beneath its artistic surface.
Chief among these is the connection between art and capital—a relationship that has become increasingly pronounced in recent years, especially within the contemporary art market.
In this talk, we will present specific cases that illustrate this relationship and engage in a discussion on how art and capital are intertwined.
