News & Events

  • I was lucky to work once a week within Christie’s Islamic Art Department where I learnt a lot from art specialists and art business experts. Through the study trips, I experienced the diversity of the international art fairs and it showed me how the art fair boom has radically changed the way the art market does business.

  • Christie’s Education acted as a stepping stone into the art world, particularly for the New York art scene and the major players involved – many of whom came to speak at our seminars. Our alumni network is also a great resource, and lots of my Christie’s Education classmates work with me at Christie’s.
