With a unique background that spans both the arts and financial sectors, Goetzmann offers an insightful perspective on how art functions not just as a cultural artifact, but also as an investment vehicle.

Goetzmann begins by sharing his journey from artist and filmmaker to economics professor, highlighting his passion for understanding the role of art in society. He argues that the aesthetic impulse is deeply embedded in human nature, with evidence of artistic expression dating back hundreds of thousands of years. This long-standing connection between art and human behaviour raises intriguing questions about how we assign value to artistic works.
