About the course
Why do some artists flourish, while others struggle? Management Professor, art market entrepreneur and best-selling book author Magnus Resch reveals in over 50 video sessions the key to success as an artist.

How do I find collectors, and how should I approach them? How should I price my artwork? And what’s the best Instagram strategy?
The video sessions are supported by leading experts from the field, such as the world’s most renowned gallerists, collectors, artists and journalists.
