FOTAM 2020: Redefining Value in the Art Market was a programme of events and discussion which took place online 19 – 30 October 2020.

Following the success of the inaugural ‘Future of the Art Market’ Report and Unconference event in November 2019, FOTAM 2020 picked up on the shifts and challenges identified in the 2019 report, with many gaining new relevance in light of the disruptions and developments that took place over the course of 2020. The event series was structured around a conceptual framework, authored by programme Curator Lucy Rose Sollitt. The event series reflected on these changes and set out to address them by proposing that we need to redefine value in the art market.

Together we ask:
Can value in the art market be reconfigured beyond the privileged few?
What would be the economics of such models?
