Art has always been driven by passion and cultural value, yet it increasingly finds itself at the center of financial considerations. Collectors today are not only drawn to the emotional or symbolic power of a work, but also to its potential for appreciation, its liquidity, and the role it can play within a broader wealth strategy. Recent market observations show that while art is seen as a compelling tool for diversification, many buyers remain cautious, mindful of the risks of speculation and of the uncertainties surrounding new forms of creation, particularly in the digital sphere.

This duality places the art world at a fascinating crossroads: how can emotion and rationality, intuition and financial logic, coexist? As private banks, market intermediaries, and cultural institutions become increasingly involved, this question is becoming central to understanding the current shifts reshaping the art market.

Access to the talk is reserved for visitors with an entry fair ticket.
