LEVEL 2: Artist Market Analysis

Using data and tools to create your own art market analysis


LEVEL 2: Artist Market Analysis

This is the second stage in our 'Pathway to become an art market analyst'.

The purpose of this online course is to use some of the key data sources we introduced in Level 1: Art Market Data and Analytical Tools to design and build a bottom-up artist market analysis.

The course will introduce participants to the report structure for the analysis, data collection and data structure, as well as introducing a series of analytical tools that can be used to interpret the market for an individual artist. In addition to this, we will provide a 30 minute online Excel workshop with access to raw data and excel tools, run by Anders Petterson.

The course will use a case study using Damien Hirst, and all participants will have access to ArtTactic's Damien Hirst Report from April 2017, upon which the case study is built.

The course includes:

  • Videos: You will have access to 1h 40m of online video content. The content of this course is building on ArtTactic's own framework for analysis and what Anders Petterson is regularly teaching for Art Business programmes at Sotheby's Institute in London. The course also include a 30 minutes Excel workshop.
  • Slides: The students can download pdf copies of the slides used in the presentations.
  • Excel spreadsheet: The student will have access to practice data (exhibition data and auction data for Damien Hirst) and a spreadsheet with both tables and graphical tools.
  • Certification [NEW]: The student will be issued with a certificate of completion when all the online videos have been completed.
  • CPD Accredited: Our courses have been independently evaluated for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) purposes by The CPD Certification Service.

Is this course for me?
We have a broad and diverse set of students taking these courses in terms of geography, age and professional backgrounds. Based on our experience so far, the courses have attracted non-art market professionals that are looking to explore opportunities in the art market or the broader art industry - and are looking for tools to help them navigate and better understand where these opportunities might exist, and how their own interest and professional background could fit in. At the other end, we also have seen a strong interest from the art trade who are looking at exploring more quantitative and data-driven methods for their own business and to meet the demand for an increasingly data-hungry client base. However, if you have any questions, please contact us and we can set up a call to discuss what course option might be the best for you.
