This public lecture will explore the evolution of the art trade from the 18th century onward. Intended especially for students who will become the museum professionals, art advisors and private collectors of tomorrow, Alan Templeton (B.A., art history and psychology, 鈥82), longtime investor, former professional artist and labor union administrator 鈥 and occasional guest curator 鈥 will cover how the fine arts interact with money, museums and the marketplace in a variety of ways. History, prestige, family crises, changing tastes and civic pride all intersect in an international industry that has annual revenues of more than $60 billion. Despite its overall size, the art trade has a limited number of participants in any given segment, making it much more uneven and personality-driven than most markets, leading to both opportunities and pitfalls.

Templeton has also been collecting art since 2000, principally to benefit the museums of Northern California.
