The PAD Annual Event in Paris
Every year, art market and expertise students assist the experts of the appraisal committee at the Pavillon des Arts et du Design (PAD, an unmissable Paris event for international art and design enthusiasts and collectors).
Taking part in the Pavilion of Arts and Design (PAD) appraisal committee is a unique experience for our students.
For several years now, thanks to an educational partnership with the fair, IESA has offered its students in the art market department the chance to get a first look at the artworks and art and design objects presented by the exhibitors.
They can thus sharpen their eye by touching, handling, and analyzing objects in order to appraise their authenticity and understand their market value through the analysis and knowledge of recognized experts. An effective way of putting into practice the appraisal and price-research courses followed during their program and of better understanding the process of appraising art objects.
A true private lesson, with each expert assisted by a student, participation in this appraisal committee allows the lucky ones who take part to watch experts display their know-how live and thus benefit from a methodology proven by years of professional practice.
IESA thanks the Fair and its experts for this opportunity offered every year to its students.
