We are offering our annual three-day short course coinciding with the international Frieze Art Fair in London which focuses on contemporary art, the art market and collecting. Designed for professionals, collectors and art enthusiasts, the course offers in-depth insight into current art trends through informative lectures and panel discussions by Institute faculty and invited experts in the field including gallery directors, dealers and leading art institutions.

This short course also offers a ‘hands-on’ learning experience through visits to Frieze Art Fair and the new Pavilion of Art & Design accompanied by Sotheby’s Institute faculty.

Fee: £950 (£875 if booked by 30 September 2009).

Fee includes lectures, panels, guided tours, lunches, fair tickets each day, transportation, receptions and course material.
