This premiere at the Manly Arts Festival takes a closer look at art as investment. Do art and monetary considerations go together at all? Shouldn’t you just buy what you love? Are there maybe other points you should take into account? Is all art equal? And last but not least, how and where should you buy or sell art?

Join us for a special evening to get first-hand insights, ideas and tips from the experts:

The Art Gallery: Joanna Strumpf and Ursula Sullivan, directors of Sullivan + Strumpf Fine Art, speak from the perspective of a cutting-edge contemporary art gallery. Sullivan + Strumpf represent some of Australia’s most interesting emerging and established contemporary artists.

The Auction House: Tim Goodman, CEO, and Michelle Stow, senior pictures specialist, from Bonhams and Goodman, explain what you can expect from a top auction house. They are the largest Australian owned, internationally operated general fine art auction house, conducting a wide variety of auctions. Recently, Bonhams and Goodman set a world record for the sale of the last remaining Australia Gallipoli Victoria Cross for over 1,2 million dollars.

The Art Broker: David Hulme and Brigitte Banziger of Banziger Hulme Fine Art Consultants, located in Manly, advise clients on the best options and markets for buying and selling individual works and art collections, guiding sellers and buyers through an often complex and very unfamiliar market.
