A.C.E. Series: Why Collect Contemporary Art?

We chose Contemporary Art to kick off our Arts, Culture and Education Series, because it’s exciting, massive – and also confusing. To get a handle on the topic, we turned to Morgan Rigaud, who has extensive experience working with living artists. Rigaud is an art appraiser, historian, university instructor and managing director of Cincinnati-based Bryson Estates, a history company providing archives, collection management services and appraisal reports for fine and decorative arts, collectables and antiques.
