  Now: CEO, Design Miami, Miami

  Christie’s Education offered me a foundation for understanding the material that my clients work with. I have worked closely with antiques and design in galleries and auction houses, but Christie’s Education has provided me with an overall understanding of the market for fine and decorative art.

  Thanks to the various components of the Christie’s Education Master’s, I was able, even before starting my job, to understand how the art market works: especially how an auction house works from the inside. Photo: Xavier Defaix

  Francesca Filippini Pinto

  Studied: MA Modern and Contemporary Art
  Now: Director of Business Development, The Photographer’s Gallery, London

  I would not have been able to make such a successful career transition from finance to the arts without my studies at Christie’s Education. The combination of rigorous academic training, direct handling of objects and exposure to the various aspects of the arts market is truly unique.

  Studied: MA in the History of Art and the Art Market
  Now: International Selection Committee Member, Biennale di Firenze, Italy 

  Christie’s Education helped me to understand the structure of the art market, in particular how art galleries (especially emerging art galleries) and dealer systems work. On a professional level, I gained experience dealing with colleagues and clients. I learnt to look at art in a critical way, how to analyse it and how to see it from new perspectives.
