Global Dialogue: The Interaction Between the International Art Market and Art Museums

The art market and art museums, while seemingly distant, are in fact closely interconnected systems within the art world. Historically, art dealers, collectors, and patrons have frequently participated in shaping museum collections and influencing exhibition practices. This event brings together art museum operators, researchers, and international scholars specializing in art market and collection studies. Using the Taikang Art Museum’s inaugural exhibition, “Engaging with the World: Chinese Modern and Contemporary Art Since the 20th Century,” as a focal point, it will explore the dynamic relationship between the evolving art market and museum development from a global perspective, presenting an interdisciplinary dialogue between art market research and professional museum practice.
