Recently, Barcelona hosted a stunning Louis Vuitton fashion show. However, the event was marred by numerous protesters opposing such high-profile gatherings in the city. This highlights a recurring issue with Barcelona—despite its beauty and cultural significance, the city often faces resistance when hosting major events. On the other hand, Madrid stands out as a more welcoming and prepared option. The people of Madrid, representing the broader spirit of Spain, embrace these prestigious events. Madrid's infrastructure, international connectivity, and experience with large-scale gatherings make it an ideal candidate. While I have many good friends who are Catalan and appreciate Barcelona's unique charm, I believe Madrid is the better choice for future high-profile events. The recent happenings in Barcelona only reinforce this view. For now, Madrid's readiness and enthusiasm give it a significant edge as Europe's preferred destination for major events.

Christie's recent auction of the Elton John Collection captivated collectors worldwide, achieving a remarkable sales total of $16.3 million (hammer price) - a striking 64.9% above the low estimate. Among the standout pieces were iconic items that epitomised Elton John's legendary style and taste. Notably, a pair of silver leather tall platform boots that soared 15 times over its low estimate, fetching $75,000. And the Banksy triptych, "Flower Thrower Triptych (2017)," acquired directly from the elusive artist, landed at an impressive $1.55 million. While Elton John's association brought fervent bidding for memorabilia and luxury items, artworks in the collection experienced mixed results. This nuanced dynamic suggests that while celebrity provenance can certainly drive interest and traction, its impact may vary across different categories of collectibles. The performance of artworks signals an intriguing aspect of market behaviour, highlighting the complexity of buyer preferences and investment strategies. #arttactic #artmarket #auctions #CelebrityProvenance 

Art Basel Miami Beach launches its 21st edition as US art-fair competition heats up. "Group’s chief executive says he is ‘doubling down’ in a shifting landscape. The recent shift in the US art fair landscape, with Frieze’s acquisitions of The Armory Show and Expo Chicago this year, has pitted the brands against rival conglomerate Art Basel and its Americas showpiece in Miami Beach. The fairs now compete in what looks like a shrinking field: art-fair sales fell from $16.5bn in 2018 to $13bn in 2022, according to Financial Times calculations based on figures in Art Basel reports, while collectors are going to four fairs this year, compared with five in 2019. For Noah Horowitz, chief executive of Art Basel, which opens Miami Beach’s 21st edition on December 6, the backdrop of consolidation has been a spur to action. “We are doubling down and are really focused on making our shows much more unmissable and more distinctive,” he says." #artcollecting #artexhibition #artmuseum #artinvesting #artinvestment #artcollector #artnews #artworld #artmarket #artmarketnews #artauction #artgallery #artfair #artworld #fair #worldrecord #modernart #impressionism #postwar #contemporaryart #abmb #artbasel #artbaselmiami #artbaselmiamibeach #miamibeach #florida #ft #financialtimes

🌸 In May in New York, it's all show. Welcome to the New York arena of our annual calendar, where talent is measured by the speed of the decisive phone call and notoriety is measured by the auction.

With auction results coming in at 6% above the average pre-auction estimates and a sell-through rate of 92%, the crucial spring auction week in New York demonstrated that, despite a challenging market environment, the blue-chip contemporary paintings segment continues to perform solidly. People will rightly claim that there has been a lack of mega transactions exceeding USD 50 million. However, this does not reflect the overall strength of the blue-chip art market as the segment of works sold above USD 50 million operates under different dynamics and is dominated by a small number of billionaires. #diversification #artinvesting #artinvestment #bluechipart

Broadly speaking, this is how art is sold. 1. Direct Sales. When the artist sells the work to a collector directly out of their studio. 2. Galleries. Generally, galleries represent artists within a niche. They can be physical or online galleries. They sell the work to their clients, and take a percentage from that sale. I think art advisors can loosely fall under this category because they work similarly. 3. Auction Houses. Here’s where competitive bidding for art happens. The highest bidder takes home the prize. #artsales #artcollecting #artworld #artadvisor #artgallery #auctionhouse
