Active internationally, TIAMSA is an interdisciplinary association of professionals, academics and students focusing on the study of the art market.
Annual international conferences and year-round events that bring the field together across continents.
A network of curators, dealers, economists, lawyers, historians and students — one rigorous conversation.
The Emerging Scholars Forum and grants support the next generation of art-market researchers.
For a century the art market shaped what we see, value and remember — yet it stayed a footnote to art history.
TIAMSA exists to change that: to give the people who study how art is bought, sold and understood a shared home, a shared standard, and a shared platform.
We are interdisciplinary by design and international by default — open to anyone who takes the market seriously, from first-year students to senior professionals.
Membership opens every conference, the Emerging Scholars Forum, regional groups and a global network of peers — from £25 a year.
