FAQs

Who is this course for?

This program is for anyone who's interested in buying art and wants to do so intelligently and with less risk — whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your connoisseurship. No academic background required — just curiosity and commitment.

How long will I have access to the course?

You get lifetime access to all course content, including future updates — plus downloadable tools you can reference as your collecting evolves. You'll also be the first to learn about new courses on Collector Connoisseur as they get released.

What exactly will I learn?

You’ll learn how to evaluate artists, understand art history’s impact on value, read market signals, build relationships with galleries, and avoid common missteps — all through the lens of real-world collecting.

Is this just theory or will I get practical advice too?

Both. You’ll gain foundational knowledge and actionable insights — including checklists, decision-making frameworks, and real case studies from the field.

How is this course structured?

It’s broken into 6 focused modules, each with short chapters (5-15 minutes) that build on each other. You can go at your own pace, rewatch anytime, and use the bonus tools to guide your process. There are quizzes throughout the course. The final module is devoted to the Collector Connoisseur Method that encompasses the core learnings of the course and will help you evaluate a potential purchase with an acquisition template.

How much is it?

The Fundamentals of Collecting Contemporary Art program is typically $200. We are currently in our launch phase and offering 50% off for a limited time.

I'm new to art, will this work for me?

Absolutely. Nico breaks down complex concepts into easy, actionable steps so you can start collecting confidently, even if you're just getting started.

Do you recommend specific artists to invest in?

We don’t give investment tips in this course — we teach you how to make informed decisions yourself. However, in our weekly newsletter you’ll receive vetted, explained offers as a bonus.

What If I don't have a huge budget?

This course is about knowledge, not net worth. You'll learn to evaluate and acquire art intelligently — whether you're buying your first piece or refining a serious collection. You'll learn to spot gems at any price point-Nico's system works whether you're spending $500 or $50,000.

I already collect art, will this course still be useful to me?

Yes. Even experienced collectors will find that this course sharpens their eye, updates their market awareness, and refines how they evaluate and talk about the work they live with.

Does this course cover NFTs?

This course focuses primarily on physical contemporary art — painting, sculpture, works on paper, mixed media. The core principles apply across mediums but Nico does not delve into the analysis of NFTs in any depth in this particular course.

Will I learn to spot fakes and forgeries?

While we touch on red flags and due diligence, this course is not about forensic authentication. Instead, we focus on helping you understand quality, context, and credibility — which are your first lines of defense.

Do I need to live near a major art world city to benefit from this course?

No! You don’t need to live near Chelsea or Mayfair to be a thoughtful collector. This course gives you the tools to evaluate work wherever you find it — online, at fairs, or through trusted platforms.

What makes this course different from just reading art books or going to talks?

This isn’t passive learning — it’s a system built to give you real-world fluency. You’ll learn to think like a connoisseur, move like a collector, and build a collection that reflects you, not just a trend. This course will also update periodically with new developments in art. As the first course launched on Collector Connoisseur it's also part of a new movement/platform to help the next generation of art lovers and collectors.

Is there a certificate of completion?

Yes. Upon finishing the course, you’ll receive a personalised certificate recognising your expertise in contemporary art collecting. This can be used as a Linkedin badge as well.

What if it doesn't work for me? Is there a guarantee?

No worries — we offer a 14-day, Love it or Leave it guarantee. If you go through the entire course and don't feel more knowledgeable and empowered as a collector, we'll refund you - no questions asked.
