How can you tell from the good, bad, and the ugly? We are not talking about men - but art. In every Asian country you visit, art of one kind or another lines the streets - from Chinese copy art to subtle Vietnamese paintings, to the stuff hanging on the walls of the art galleries. But to the less discerning eye, how can we learn to see the good from the bad?

The Asia Art Archive is putting on a 'talk series' to serve this need - to help the budding art collector cast a more skilled eye over one of the fastest growing art markets in the world - contemporary Asian art. There are different speakers every Tuesday - free.

Tomorrow, there is curator and art dealer Valentine Willie (left), from Jakarta, who will be doing a talk on 'Trends in the Southeast Asian Contemporary Art Market'. Hosted by John Batten, the talk will look at the trends in contemporary art and the extraordinary growth in the art market in the region over the past decade.
