Testimonials

I appreciated the deep insight that Dr. Clare McAndrew provides into the way the international art market ecosystem functions.  Not only did I learn about the history of the market, from its beginnings through to our present day, I also gained great knowledge on the key actors in this field. 
– about art market economics 
English isn't my mother tongue, but through the course I simply forgot that and learned in such a natural way,  because of how beautiful the stories were told and connected emotionally. We "travelled" to each period of time with grace. The images were also spectacular.
– about the history of jewellery design: 1880
to now 
The course is extremely well-planned. I like how it's structured around theories and the parties in the art ecosystem. The lectures were very insightful and logical and the lecturer talks with great passion. The special features were also very interesting.
