Introduces students to the operation of the visual arts world. The course is divided into three parts. Part A consists of an introduction to relevant overriding concepts such as “what is art?”; art, obscenity and morality; moral and legal issues arising from repatriation art works; and art as a commercial construct. Part B looks at the workings of the commercial art world in New Zealand and, to a lesser extent, overseas. Part C examines the relevance of art in the community by examining the operation of art galleries and whether selective works of visual art should receive enhanced protection by virtue of serving a key societal function.
