The third in our ‘informal’ occasional research seminar series focused on Contemporary & Historic Issues in the Art Market, organised by the Centre for the Study of the Art & Antiques Market (CSAAM)

Following the auction sale of Banksy’s Girl with a Red Balloon, which sold for £1,042,000 and promptly proceeded to ‘self-destruct’, this discussion forum focuses on this latest ‘event’ in the art market. Open Discussion format – just come along and ‘discuss’ the issues; email Mark Westgarth for more information if needed m.w.westgarth@leeds.ac.uk – ALL WELCOME
