"MagnusClass lifts the veil on the art world and gives you a framework to understand why some artists' careers take off, their artwork rising in value, while others fade away. Aspiring art collectors will gain great insight on how to enter the marketplace with a clear vision and strategy on how to buy art. A highlight of the course are Magnus' in-depth interviews with industry professionals such as art advisors, gallerists, dealers and experienced collectors, which provide current real-world perspectives on different aspects of collecting art."
Mathias, Founder Berlin / New York City
"I have no time but I didn’t want to buy IKEA artworks. The class moved fast - It's highly efficient. Like a crash course, a 101 of art collecting. What makes it so special is that it's based on data. I used Magnus' advice to buy works for my new apartment."

Mohammed, McKinsey, Mumbai
"I have been going to art events for a while and even have a modest collection of 10 artworks - it was incredible to see how strategically Magnus approaches the topic and conveys within hours what I learnt over decades."

"I’ve signed up for the premium package. I receive expert guidance on writing artist statements, commission agreements and cover letters, as well as interviews with some of the most influential names in the art world. Magnus’ conversations with top artists, gallerists and collectors provided me with crucial insight on the inner workings of a market that often seems abstract and out of reach. This class will open doors for any emerging artist."
