Academic Economist, whose works we follow closely, published “The Economy of Art” in July 2021. Aylin Seçkin reveals how a work of art starts its journey in artist’s workshop and later continues in galleries, auctions, private collections, and museums, and how its value as a commodity is shaped throughout this process. Focusing on the transactions in the art world as an economic system together with the financial value of the art objects and how art functions as an investment tool, Seçkin also features detailed information about the different art markets around the world, the close relationship with the art and real estate sector, and the impact of emerging crypto markets on art sales in her latest book. One of the few researchers in the field of arts economy in Turkey, Seçkin shares her insights, experiences, and always up-to-date expertise with the readers.
