Every Picture Tells a Story
Every Picture Tells a Story
Grant Ford discusses some of the great pictures he has handled during his extensive career in the art world both as a leading specialist in the international auction world and as an independent advisor, curator and representative since 2016. From incredible masterpieces by the Pre-Raphaelites to Lord Leighton, modern works by the leading British Post-War painters and well known international names.
Why did certain works fall out of fashion at a certain point in time, only to spring back and set new world records many decades later? Grant will discuss the changes in the market place and his experiences with sellers and buyers. This talk will be focused on the international art market, but will specifically look at some of the Great British Artists and their work within the global art market arena.
