As part of the lecture series "Art as a Profession - Professions in Art" we talk to:
Stefan Kobel, journalist & art market expert
The art market: What kind of market structure is it? What money is involved? Which interests are in the foreground, which in the background? What are the interesting developments of the present?
Stefan Kobel is one of the most experienced German art market journalists - his articles have appeared in Handelsblatt, ZEIT, Monopol magazine, artnet.com, Tagesspiegel, and many more. He also illuminates current art market events in a weekly online press review on art market reporting called "Kobel's Art Week". Stefan Kobel researches names, facts and figures and writes against the lack of transparency in the art market.
He was awarded the ART COLOGNE Prize for Art Criticism 2015, among other prizes, for which he received the following statement: "Stefan Kobel's work stands in sharp contrast to the traditional, fine-minded understanding of the feuilleton. He travels to fairs, reports on auctions, but above all follows the market players with journalistic skepticism and meticulous research, illuminating their motivations and interests."
This lecture belongs to the series Art as a Profession - Professions in Art. (Cornelia Renz, Julia Brodauf) On the coming Wednesday afternoons we will continue to follow the trail in conversations with other players who sometimes even seem like opponents to us artists: gallery owners, curators, museum directors, journalists * inside, critics *, but also political institutions.
We will also talk to Tobias Wall , visual arts officer of the city of Stuttgart and expert on public and private art funding (Feb. 17).
