This webinar will take a historic look at how the market
for Spanish Colonial art has developed. Where were
we forty years ago and where are we today? What
and who has driven these changes?

Topics will include recent hits and misses at auction, increasing institutional interest, museum exhibitions, curatorial positions and scholarship. Issues specific to this field such as national patrimony laws and the challenges of finding comparable works for appraisals and valuations will all be discussed.

Speaker: Diana Bramham, Ph.D., Christie's
