Whether you’re acquiring art and objects for pure enjoyment, with an eye to investment, to begin a collection, or as a profession, it’s important to make informed decisions. This course is an introduction to the professional appraisal of Western decorative arts and interior design from the 18th century to the modern era. Students learn to make critical decisions in building a private or professional collection and the fine art of the auction business. Throughout the course, you engage with the field of decorative arts and design in ways relevant to your setting, such as conducting research in online auction and sale platforms or visiting auction houses, galleries, and art and antique shows where you can network with professionals. You gain hands-on experience appraising fine and decorative arts in the commercial auction world and learn to identify and assess the value of art and objects, which prepares you for a career in the world of auction, appraising, or interior design.
