Die Kunst und die Kirche

In the organizer's words:

The art of making a living from art was never easy for artists or art dealers. Whereas artists had previously often been anonymous and were regarded more as artisans, they became visual artists during the Renaissance in Florence and stepped out of anonymity; the signature of the work became more common. The artist no longer lived solely from patrons, but increasingly from collectors as well. With secularization under Napoleon, the church lost not only its possessions but also its dominant role in art. Thus, the art market also came into being with secularization. During this period, a number of auction houses were founded that still exist today and the material value of art was increasingly determined at auctions. What is art worth? A complex question that Henrik Hanstein will explore.
