Thursday 8 February 2007, 10.30–18.00
Friday 9 February 2007, 10.30–17.30

London is a leading world market for contemporary art, but how has this come about? What role have dealers played? What is the anxiety about the relationship between money and art? How can we study the art market and what can it tell us both of the past and the present status of art? Academics, dealers, critics, curators and artists come together to provide both historical contexts and contemporary insights into this much under-considered subject.
