I am most interested in seeing art economist Clare McAndrew's talk on the art market in 2015. Dr. McAndrew is author of some excellent books on the art market and is well know for her annual TEFAF art market report and analysis. In addition to Dr McAndrew's presentation, there are some really excellent programs including talks on outsider art, the IRS, valuing archives (another topic I am interested in as I recently did an artist's archive), mid century design, evaluating a home library, how high end art is impacting the market, and insight into the growth of online auctions, plus much more.
There is still time to register, follow the source link below for more information.
