My daughter chose INVESTING WITH ART as subject for her Bachelor Degree Thesis. Now, yesterday at the presentation of the subjects, her exams coordinator told to the class that this subject is not really suited for ART LOVERS because they’ll need to work with an Auction House and they will discover the dark side of art. In his opinion this could jeopardize their vision on a so called loved subject. 1. I don’t think he needed to share his opinion at this stage 2. His opinion is wrong 😑 Thoughts?

Definitely wrong. This thesis could be very important to your daughter working in the art industry. It's a very practical topic which is something some academics are not able to process. I experienced this as an adjunct lecturer at a University.

I thought the same. It’s not something to say to a bunch of 20yo kids. Loving art means a lot of things, bad or good doesn’t matter, it’s important to be aware of what are you going to deal with. I didn’t want to diminish the teacher role in front of my daughter and I said that probably he was just worried to get the right students in the course but inside me I was little disappointed. What’s your experience in regards?

I think he missed an opportunity to guide her positively. Also, he may not understand or respect the art business.
