CPD-Accredited Online Course | Certificate of Completion
This is the third course in ArtTactic’s Pathway to Become an Art Market Analyst and builds directly on the foundational skills taught in Level 1: Art Market Data & Analytical Tools and Level 2: Artist Market Analysis.
In this advanced course, you'll learn how to determine both the market value and fair value of an individual artwork using real-world auction data. Led by Anders Petterson, ArtTactic’s Founder and a regular lecturer at Sotheby’s Institute of Art, this course walks you through:
- The key differences between market value and fair value
- How to analyze comparable transactions and market trends
- Adjusting for variables to establish an accurate valuation
- Applying ArtTactic’s proprietary Market Metrics framework from Level 2 to calculate fair value
You’ll work with a focused dataset on Damien Hirst, previously introduced in Level 2, and gain practical skills through a 15-minute Excel workshop that guides you step-by-step through a fair value assessment.
Note: Completion of Level 2: Artist Market Analysis is recommended before taking this course.
