Anotace přednášky:

Icelandic art market is rather unique for its smallness and geographic isolation. There is no debate about the vibrancy of the Icelandic art scene, and that Icelandic artist have gained international recognition, but there has not been much research of the trade of art in Iceland. In a comparative study of the art market in London, Copenhagen and Reykjavik, Gestsson (2009) even observes that  it is not clear whether there is an art market in Reykjavik or not. In this talk I will explain what we know about the Icelandic art market and Icelandic galleries and discuss possible future developments in a globalized art world.
