Hey J!
I hope all is well. I just got back from the most wonderful vacation to a little archipelago
between Sardinia and Corsica, just beautiful. When do you get out - I heard you were on work
release?
Everything's fine on my part, I got an A on my bachelor's thesis and in my art history course so
the vacation felt well-earned...
I'm getting second thoughts about Sotheby's though and I wanted to ask you what you honestly
think of a Sotheby's MA degree. I've been browsing their website and just now realized that all
the New York courses are offered on a non-credit basis.
"Upon the successful completion of this two semester course of study, students receive a non-
credit Graduate Certificate which will be accepted in transfer by Sotheby's Institute of
Art—London. Students may then matriculate for the Master's Degree by completing a
dissertation (Master's thesis) in a third semester of independent study under the supervision of
the London faculty. The MA degree is validated by The University of Manchester (UK)."
It all sounds kind of fishy and housewifey to me. Do you know if the Sotheby's degree is actually
worth something in the art world or if maybe it doesn't really carry a lot of weight outside the
art marketing world or even outside of Sotheby's?
Maybe I should start looking for alternate schools. I just really have no idea which other schools
offer the same type of programme (ie art business). I really want to be in New York and feel
kind of lost...
Best,.
