How Art Moves
Georgetown University, Spring 2024
Description:
How do artworks move through the world? This seminar incorporated readings and case studies to explore how art moves—from the artist’s mind, to the creative act of making, exhibitions at galleries, sales to collectors, display at art fairs, inclusion in art auctions, entry into museum permanent collections, and stolen art. We traced the movements of a variety of artworks, exploring the effect of cultural, political, and economic factors on art’s geographic migrations and contextual meanings.
