Art & Markets

Prof. Hans J. Van Miegroet

ARTHIST 508S // ECON 321S // VMS 567S


The goal of this seminar is to be a follow-­‐up to History of Art Markets (ARTHIST 231D; ECON 344D; VMS 242D). Here, however, the objective is to engage in advanced research on historical art markets, the emergence of new art markets, and interactions between market behavior and artistic  production.  Research  in  Art  Markets  involved  many  unanswered  empirical  questions  that  require  a  cross-­‐disciplinary,  methodological  framework  for  developing  new  work hypothesis  and  empirically  testable  propositions.  This  requires  a  combination  of  humanistic,  scientific and social scientific methodologies. In this seminar, students work in cross-­‐disciplinary teams (composed of at least one representative of the humanities, sciences and social sciences) in  consultation  with  the  DALMI  Teaching  and  Research  Assistant  Team.  The  pedagogical  objective  here  is  to  effectively  work  as  a  vertically  integrated  team  (graduates  and undergraduates from the humanities, sciences and social sciences, as well as JD/MA and MBA students) on one specific research topic over the course of the semester. Individual disciplinary skillsets and methodologies are combined in one coherent research question involving a jointly integrated methodology.
