The Old Masters Market and the Salvator Mundi: What did it do, what can be done?

On 3 November 2017, within the Post-War & Contemporary Evening Sale at Christie\u27s auction in New York, nestled between a Vija Celmins and Jean-Michel Basquiat, was a painting attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, the Salvator Mundi (1490-1500.) The work quadrupled the estimated sale price of 100 million USD, hammering at 400 million (for a total of 450.3 million with buyer’s premium.) This work, setting the record for the most expensive work of art ever sold, at auction or private, creates a curious case for the Old Masters category. What appears to be a shrinking, potentially dwindling category of art, now sits at the top of every art sale record - the most expensive work of art is an old master. Why, then, does the category so underperform when compared to the Contemporary, Post-War, Modern, Post-Impressionist, and Impressionist works at auction? This thesis will attempt to analyze how the art market has formed, and what exactly dictates the market today. The supply of Old Masters is limited, and the “Greats” of the Old Masters, such as Titian, Botticelli, and Leonardo - who do continue to smash sale records - is even more scarce. Why does it seem that only certain Old Master works (for the sake of this study, the Italian Renaissance works) stand a chance at competing with the prices set by the other aforementioned categories of art? What do these Italian old masters have that other old masters lack? In addition, this study will examine whether this is the norm for the old masters, or if there is anything that can be done (or has been done) to stay relevant in today’s world. As for the Salvator Mundi, this study concludes that it was an over-performing anomaly, the price more determined by the theatrics around it, though it does serve as a metaphoric example of what the Old Masters market should be following

Building the Beginnings of a Beautiful Partnership

The authors describe the process leading to, and the outcome of, their partnership to build and operate a 76,000 square foot public/ community college joint use library. Located in Westminster, Colorado, the College Hill Library serves a population of approximately 70,000 Westminster residents and 6,000 Front Range Community College faculty and staff. The partnership began in 1994 to investigate the feasibility of building the facility, which opened in April 1998 and continues to be successful today. The authors provide information on the main points of the Intergovernmental Agreement to build and operate the facility and relate their experiences during the planning, construction, and initial year of operation of the library. They discuss issues relating to combining staff, automation systems, and collections as well as special challenges in publicizing the library to the community. An update on the current state of the partnership is provided by the current co-directors of the library.published or submitted for publicatio
