[…] Christine Kuan is “shaping the future of culture and the future of art” through her work as CEO of Sotheby’s Institute of Art-New York.

While the primary focus is on visual arts, instructors at the institute come from all areas of the art world, from art fair directors to auction house specialists, those in the publishing world and those with expertise in sponsorship and patronage of the arts.
