November 11 — Debra Force and John Vanausdall discuss “The Valuation of Art”
The important question in art seems not to be “Do I like it?” or “Is it good?” … it’s “What’s it worth?” When does that become a question of law rather than aesthetics?
When: Tuesday November 11, 5:30 PM
Where: IUPUI Herron’s Frank and Katrina Basile Auditorium, Eskenazi Hall, 735 West New York Street Indianapolis
This event is free and open to the public. Contact Shaun Ingram for more information: (317) 278-4789 or slingram@iupui.edu
