Sotheby’s Institute of Art and Claremont Graduate University have launched a groundbreaking partnership establishing a new Master’s in Art Business program in Los Angeles.This three-semester program examines the history and practices of western art and its markets, with additional exploration of the dynamically emerging art markets of Asia and Latin America. Core classes are taught by distinguished art world professionals and scholars from Sotheby’s Institute of Art and the celebrated business faculty of Claremont’s Drucker School of Management.
The MA in Art Business curriculum is built on a framework of business, law, marketing and finance, supplemented by specialized modules in such key subjects as gallery and auction house operations, art collection management and art evaluation. An international travel component includes seminars and symposia at major art world events. Students may choose electives from the upper-level art history courses of The Claremont Colleges, the Drucker School’s MBA offerings, Claremont’s MFA in studio art or its graduate programs in Arts Management or Museum Studies. Students may also elect to spend their third semester at Sotheby’s Institute’s London or New York campus.
