Why do random blobs of color that look like a house painter’s drop cloth fetch millions at auction, while timeless classics of dogs playing poker can be found at your neighbor’s garage sale for pocket change?
Such mysteries of 21st-century art collecting will be revealed in Morristown on Friday, Feb. 28, 2014, by Virginia Fabbri Butera, curator of the Therese A. Maloney Art Gallery at the College of Saint Elizabeth.
Ginny, a scholar and art consultant who chairs the school’s art and music departments, will be joined at The Gallery at 14 Maple at 6 pm by artists Kiyomi Baird, Willie Cole, Richard Eger and Wayne Charles Roth for a free two-hour talk that will dissect the $66 billion global art market.
