About this Event

__________________________________________________________________________________________

About the talk:

Why do some artworks sell for millions while others struggle to find a buyer? And who decides what art is really worth?

Join Contemporary Art Specialist Bojana Popovic for a fascinating journey into the world of high-value art, exploring the people, stories and market forces behind its extraordinary price tags.

From celebrated figures such as Andy Warhol and Gerhard Richter to emerging artists whose works have commanded astonishing sums, discover how artistic innovation, cultural influence, reputation, speculation and collector demand combine to turn works of art into multimillion-pound investments.

With four and a half years of experience as a Post-War & Contemporary Art Specialist at Christie’s, one of the world’s leading auction houses, Bojana Popovic now runs an independent art advisory service, drawing on her academic background, curatorial experience and extensive knowledge of the art market to help collectors build and develop their collections.

Bojana holds a Master’s degree in Curating from The Courtauld Institute of Art and has previously worked at Tate Britain and the Serpentine Galleries. She has been recognised as a Top Recommended Art Advisor in the Spear’s Art Advisors Index.

She is also co-founder of Anarchy Art Club, a global private collectors’ club bringing together people who share a passion for contemporary art. Through exclusive studio visits, behind-the-scenes experiences and conversations with artists, curators and leading figures in the art world, the club offers a more personal and engaging approach to collecting.

At its heart is the belief that art collecting should be about more than transactions – fostering meaningful connections between collectors and artists, and a deeper appreciation of the people, ideas and stories behind the artworks.
