Economic History Soup
Interview with Luisa Bicalho-Ritzkat, Economic History PhD Student at the London School of Economics
Welcome to the first official interview of Economic History Soup! I am joined by Luisa Bicalho-Ritzkat as she discusses her work on the art market and art as an investment. Luisa is finishing her PhD in Economic History at the LSE and is interested in a variety of topics related to financial history, focusing on the art market for her dissertation.
In this episode, we discuss what it means for art to have value, and what a change in perceived value means for the financial market. We discuss connections to modern day art markets and financial lessons to take from buying art as an investment. We also discuss Luisa's very nice workflow!
It was lovely to have you on the podcast, Luisa! For the audience curious about Luisa's work, she can be found at her website here: https://www.bicalhoritzkat.com.
As always, I am available for comments at my email, liza.brover@yale.edu.
