“I believe we have a transformative opportunity with the new generation of arts patrons, who might initially start supporting a museum in accessible ways—buying an artist’s edition or visiting an exhibition discovered through social media—and some of whom can be developed into members and the most impactful major donors over time.” In the new op-ed for artnet, our CEO Mazdak Sanii addressed the funding challenges museums and art institutions are facing in the US and Europe and how the new generation can play a vital role in supporting them.

We're recruiting for a new Artist Lead. If you’ve worked as an account handler in an agency and like art, then this could be for you!

George Condo’s Psychological Cubism presents myriad states a person can embody. For those wanting to experience his work in person, at Condo’s new exhibition The Mad and the Lonely at a former slaughterhouse on Hydra Island, a number of small-scale paintings and sculptures selected from the artist’s personal collection offers depictions of characters rejected by society, lingering between a state of madness and loneliness, captured in the abstract yet humanoid-like manner the artist is known for.

Avant Arte’s CEO Mazdak Sanii spoke with George Nelson for The Art Newspaper to discuss the growth in the print market. The new generation of collectors deeply cares about transparency and being able to make well-informed decisions - and Avant Arte is on a mission to open up access to owning and discovering contemporary art - from how the prints are made at our in-house printmaking studio in London to quality control at the warehouse. “This approach to transparency and accessibility has resonated and allowed us to build a community of 3.3 million enthusiasts and collectors online. But we know that’s not enough - of nearly 1,500 collectors we surveyed as part of our recent insights project, 90% don’t find the art world welcoming to them - so there’s lots to do.”
