denk_mal: How does the art market work? Actors, mechanisms, and the rules of an opaque system

Description

Art has a market. This market has rules, rituals, and contradictions. Whoever buys, sells, exhibits, or simply enjoys art moves within it, whether consciously or not.
In 45 minutes, art mediator Joël Gessler provides an overview: Who are the actors? How is a price formed? What happens behind the scenes of galleries, fairs, and auction houses? And what does a duty-free warehouse have to do with art? Understandable, practical, and without insider jargon.
Joël Gessler is an art mediator living in Lucerne. He supports private and institutional collections in their development and maintenance, gives input lectures, teaches at art schools, and is a member of the art purchase specialist group of the municipality of Meggen. As the founder of Art-Tickers, he informs an art community via WhatsApp. In his work, he combines practical knowledge with an accessible view of art and its contexts. Ticket prices at Neubad
