On November 29, Artpace “presents Amy Cappellazzo, International Co-Head of Post-War and Contemporary Art at Christie’s, New York, NY who will speak about the birth of the contemporary art market and how it has arrived at its current state.” 6:30-8:00 pm.
“I was at the School at the Museum of Fine Arts. Those days the school was that teachers sat in the parking lot and drank. Literally. This was before the 1980s. We were told that we will never make any money on art. Now, the students that I teach, at Yale particularly, all they want to know is what gallery they could have a show in or could I help them to get a show. They go right from the graduate school to the big galleries. It is all a career move. When I went to art school, I never heard of Artforum. Never.”
