Collector's and the Art Market




I was most interested in what was briefly mentioned. Where does the art go after its initial private acquisition? Third party buyers, auction, and valuation are areas of the art market that I would like to learn more about.
The art world often seems polarized. Art and the economy are critically related subjects and usually not discussed in an open forum.  I wish the investment question has been addressed by a dealer or curator present at the event. 
I am grateful to see contemporary collectors making art available to the public. When I first moved to Richmond this opportunity did not seem to be readily available.

This is a prickly question, Mary. What happens to things after they are created? It is a discussion that is relevant only as long as something is in one's possession and they are living in order to possess it. After that, or even during that time its all a crap shoot, really. Have you ever seen the Rape of Europa? Watch it. Its available on Netflix.

…This is very clear and eloquent and helpful. The last sentence seems to contrast with the preceding ones. I would like more clarification of the last sentence.
