“Curating Your Corporate and Private Collection” panel discussion
Bringing together both dealers and designers, this panel will focus on how to build a comprehensive collection that will not only retain its investment value, but also work well visually in a home or office setting. Panelists will broach how to balance investing for investment’s sake but also how to curate a cohesive collection. Heavily rooted in a design perspective, discussion will also cover how to successfully showcase art in a personal or professional space, and how to integrate art in its environment.
Appropriate for interior designers, corporate buyers, first-time art buyers, investors, and artists who wish to break into this burgeoning market, we will be exploring every facet of this interesting intersection of art and business. These and many more questions will be addressed as Annika Connor leads the discussion exploring Curating Your Corporate and Private Collection.
Place: General Assembly located at 902 Broadway on the 4th Floor.
Date/Time: Wed., December 14th, 2011, 7:00 – 9:30 pm
