Art Lecture + Tour | Dr Mark Stocker
August 11, 2024 | 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

At his talk How a Kiwi Joker can create an art collection on the smell of an oily rag, art collector Mark Stocker will discuss the difference between the value and price of artworks, as well as what to buy and what not to buy. He will then take us on a tour of some of the works in Seriously Valuable Art. Dr Mark Stocker is a semi-retired art historian who worked both as an academic (Canterbury and Otago) and as a curator (Te Papa). He has over 260 publications, including books, and articles in Majesty and Country Life, as well as many academic journals and books, including the Grove Dictionary of Art.
