A drawback to the career could be, if the person seeking such a career would put all the eggs in the artwork basket. There currently does not seem to be a high enough demand for artwork title services that would allow for individuals to easily or quickly find employment in this field. Rather the same individual would probably be more likely to find employment in the real estate area and have it grow from there.
One area touted by AXA Fine Art Services is that of educating art dealers and collectors to the various dangers and pitfalls of owning and protecting fine art. Each year, this insurance company sponsors an exhibition of fine art that is attended by "70,000 collectors, curators, directors and (art) enthusiasts." (AXA 2006) an individual interested in providing services to the art industry which would include purchasing title insurance would seemingly do well with AXA, since many of the leaders of the art industry are already well acquainted with the companies offerings and services. Rubbing shoulders with seventy thousand collectors and other art enthusiasts would certainly lead to many cross-selling opportunities.
At least one industry expert thinks that title insurance for artwork is a good idea. "I think it is a great idea," said Michael Moses, cofounder of Beautiful Asset Advisors and cocreator of the Mei/Moses Fine Art Index. "If museums become proactive and accept things only with clear title or title insurance, ARIS will have a good thing going. It should be a fiduciary responsibility of museums to purchase or accept gifts only with clear title. Most asset-based transactions require good title, and if museums require title insurance it will make for a more efficient market. Then there will be a risk premium for things without title insurance. People will pay more for less risk." (Solis-Cohen 2006)
Moses could be correct. The research provides enough information...
Art Culture: Public Space Art Public art like that of Koon's Train (2011), Serra's Tilted Arc (1981), Lin's Vietnam Veterans Memorial (1981), and James' Sea Flower (1978), ignite discussion to the point of its modification, re-arrangement, or removal. The reason for this controversial treatment of public art is its ability to embrace a variety of aesthetic practices. The adoption of different aesthetic values like poster art, outdoor sculpture, earthworks, multimedia projections,
Art Therapy a form of psychotherapy? Since the middle of the twentieth century, artistic expression and creation have been seen as valuable assets in the context of therapy and rehabilitation. The impact that art therapy has had on the field of psychology is undeniable, and its influence has contributed to the development of various diagnostic tools and interventions used in psychotherapy. The practice of art therapy involves the process of image

Art The Painting Techniques of the Impressionists, Cubists, and Fauvists During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries art styles were changing rapidly in France. Impressionism, Cubism, and Fauvism were three of the styles developed during this time. The painters involved were using new techniques with oil paint to change what was accepted as fine art. Their new techniques reflected societal changes happening all around them. The Age of Industrialization, economic fears,
Art History The transition from the Baroque to the Rococo style in sculpture and painting was attended by a concurrent shift in European power relations, as the cultural and political hegemony of the Roman Catholic Church gave way to secular institutions of power. Comparing a work produced during the height of either style demonstrates this shift implicitly, because the Rococo style contains a playfulness in both theme and visual content hinting
His paintings were and are provocative because, instead of using personal confessions (like Dali), he uses irony and wit and intelligence to make his point hear. "The Treason of Images" is controversial in the sense that it makes the viewer question art and language and the meaning that we apply to objects. Magritte questions the assumptions made by people about the world, changing the scale of objects and defying
