What an intriguing read by Kelly Crow in The Wall Street Journal. Kelly highlights how the art market is being reshaped by the tastes and unpredictable habits of a new generation of younger buyers: https://lnkd.in/dFWrxAQt I’ve also written on a similar topic in Forbes Business Council. If you're interested, take a look at my article on how gallery owners can help drive a more inclusive global art market: https://lnkd.in/dsNcGkAj #WallStreetJournal #KellyCrow #Art #ArtMarket #ForbesBusinessCouncil

Here is a perfect example of why it is so so so hard to become a successful artist, by being a good artist. "I represent a PR firm, we are working on an article, "Top 10 Visionary Artists to Follow," where you can feature to boost your online presence and attract more fans. This article will go live in October 2024 in an exclusive magazine, "MSN,” which has 550M+ monthly readers. You'll be featured alongside 9 other esteemed artists, and the article will include a 100-word paragraph highlighting your unique artistic vision, creative journey, and inspirations. We are selling each spot for 500 USD." Surely an article about top 10 visionary artists to follow, should be based on merit and not who can afford to pay for a spot. Maybe an artist who has done 30+ international gallery shows... an artist who has bridged the physical and digital art world and sold over $2million worth of NFTs... an artist who has taken that experience and built a social networking platform for other artists to find connections and opportunities... *cough CreateScene cough*... maybe an artist who has spent almost 2 decades promoting mental health and art therapy with Art Is The Cure CIC... I'm not tooting my own horn here, but I would put myself up against any artist as a visionary, a leader and an innovator. I'm not going to pay to be on that list but if you want to write a story about an artist who is worthy of that list based on merit and effort and compassion, give me a call. www.richsimmonsart.com

With a background in gallery management, this brief article really enlightens communities on the purpose and intention behind art galleries. Consider giving it a read if you are curious, and let me know if you want to talk more about it!

Two suggestions for visiting an art exhibition for those in Hamburg, both art exhibitions at the Hamburger Kunsthalle, both art exhibitions revolving with their underlaying ideas, around the concept of double perspective and double vision, which some might find it interesting:), (for more details, see the links bellow): https://lnkd.in/d8J9_Nre https://lnkd.in/dXZJect9

How do you know if the art on your office or home walls is worth anything? By listening to this conversation with Madeleine Norton from Leonardjoel.com and Toby Meagher from Michael Reid Galleries, that's how. https://lnkd.in/gHDxM42Q

80% of art galleries are not proper art galleries. Why would I even say that? And where did I get the number? I bring it up because when the substitute we settle for passes as a gallery, there’s a community-wide lowering of standards that hurts artists and devalues the ecosystem. Managing a gallery is a massive marketing operation involving PR, promotion, negotiation, very low risk aversion, a deep knowledge of the art market, and deep contacts in both the curators and collectors sides. Beyond injecting millions into the local economy, a proper local art market will create a destination, bring curators and collectors, be a window for the town in the world’s top art market platforms, think Venice, Miami, Basel… So let’s stop pandering to half-baked “art gallery” concepts and go talk to a few good curators who can help set up a proper local art market. Start small, then grow. Become an instant hit gradually, then suddenly 😉
