The São Paulo School of Economics (FGV EESP) has an open call for papers for the I Academic Seminar on Economics of the Art Market which will take place on September 21, 2023 in São Paulo.

Economy of Art and FGV Invest

The Economics of Art, known in English as ArtEconomics, belongs to the field of Economics of Culture and, since the 1980s, studies the economic data on the creation, distribution and consumption of works of art, literature and similar creative products.

It also analyzes the behavior of producers, buyers, governments, distributors, investors and other agents in the art market, as well as the inclusion of this asset class in diversified investment portfolios. For this, the Economy of Art uses economic and econometric analysis. The study of the art market should not be confused with the study of the Cultural Industry which also includes, among others, cinema, television and mass publications in general.

The FGV Invest Art Market Economics Study Group has been meeting since 2016 at the FGV Invest Center at the São Paulo School of Economics (FGV EESP) with the aim of examining academic texts, books, reports and publications focused on the subject, as well as the role of aesthetics and the arts in the economy. The study group has participants from different points of circulation and information in the art market, such as researchers, interested collectors in general and, mainly, FGV professors and students (bachelors, masters and doctoral students).
