Beatrice Hodgkin is the author of Affordable Contemporary Art: A Guide to Buying and Collecting (2011). In this talk, she will offer practical and down-to-earth guidance for people who want to know more about buying and collecting contemporary art across a variety of media. Full of useful tips and advice, it will be invaluable to anyone interested in collecting. We are delighted to be able to offer free places to members of the Contemporary Art Society.
This event has been organised to coincide with A Private Affair – Personal Collections of Contemporary Art (28 January – 5 May 2012) at the Harris Museum & Art Gallery. Organised in collaboration with the Contemporary Art Society, this exhibition tells the personal stories behind private collections of contemporary art and includes work from emerging Northern artists to internationally recognised artists.
