The purpose of the article. Research and analysis of marketing technology algorithms and study of motivations of purchasers of products of fine arts. The methodology is to apply comparative, empirical, and theoretical methods. This methodological approach allows us to analyze the motivations of purchasers of works of fine art and further research of marketing processes in the promotion of works of fine art in the art market. The scientific novelty consists in the expansion of ideas about the motivations of purchasers of works of fine art. The article explores the marketing processes in the art market. Algorithms of marketing technologies in the analysis of motivations of purchasers of works of fine arts are analyzed. That is, the article proves that in art marketing it is relevant and necessary to regularly study the algorithms of the behavior of purchasers of works of art, as well as in general - situations in which the collector decides on the purchase of works of art. Research in the field of art market marketing gives grounds to state that artistic creativity is a field of large and small business, which should deeply study and analyze the motivations of purchasers, involving specialists in psychology, sociology, economics. It should be noted that in the marketing of fine arts the technologies of studying and analyzing the motivations of the purchasers of works of art are purposefully and productively used. Conclusions. The article analyzes the models of acquisition of works of fine art. It is also proved that the behavior of the purchaser of works of art is determined by three mandatory components: Individual - Product - Situation, on which the model of consumption and consumer behavior is based. Thus, we have studied the individuals involved in the acquisition of works of art that are products on the market, presented in kind in museums or private collections. The success of art marketing depends not only on the personality of the artist who created the product presented on the market, not only on the solvency of the final purchaser of this product but also on the personality, creative and business qualities of dealers, distributors, and other intermediaries in the art market. At a certain stage, they also become purchasers of this product on the way from the artist to the final buyer - a museum or a private collector, etc. We also explored market algorithms for acquiring works of art in a collection.
