Week 2
Market Research
Ms. Anstead and I started out the week meeting over Zoom call again where we went over my notes from the previous week on mathematics in nature. One of the artists that I had included in the list is an artist that she said may be of interest for the project. We went on to discuss different schools of art that incorporated nature and different avenues and perspectives on how to look at the project. Ms. Anstead also gave me a lot more background on the client that this project is for as well as what her perspective is when thinking about a project like this. She also gave me a bit of a background on the art world and things that were going on in the art market recently.
I was given a couple of assignments at the conclusion of the meeting. Primarily, I was to read The Art Basel & UBS Art Market Report 2025 by Arts Economics and give a breakdown of key trends of the art market. I was also tasked with looking into the Old Masters sector of the art market and analyze how those works may be valued in todays market. Finally, I was to provide an overview of how AI may be used in the art world particularly for authentication purposes.
The majority of my week was spent reading the Art Market Report as well as adding to the list of possible artists that may be beneficial to the project.
