Description

What is the relationship between art and the economic and political life of our society? Art and power have gone hand in glove from medieval feudalism, through the emergence of mercantile capitalism and centuries of capitalism and colonisation to the global market and cultural infrastructure of today. Those who wielded political and economic power have sought a reflection of greatness, civility, and taste in their art patronage, connoisseurship and collecting.
This course explores the nexus between art, money and power in both historical and contemporary society.
