Globalization by Manfred Steger and reading John Zarobell’s essay, “The Art Market in the Margins,”
What is Steger’s “very short definition” of globalization? After listening to Steger’s exploration of this concept, please apply the ideas:
a. share a way that globalization is visible in your own day-to-day life
and
b. share a way that globalization is visible in the city art scene you are researching (for example, in Los Angeles, many
of the purchases at the LA Frieze Fair are made by collectors who live outside of the US).
Zarobell’s essay details ways that the art market is easily exploited as a financial tool of the wealthy. Choose one of the examples he gives in the essay – explain why it was particularly interesting or surprising to you.
