Brave New World: Decoupling Art Sales from Experience For a Transformation Inspired by the Music Business.

Is this the new global art market of tomorrow?

Should the art world separate annual sales from the art experience? What role can technology play in democratizing access to art? How can we ensure that the value of art is not diminished in the digital age? In this edition of Offmarket Investments in collaboration with The Future Of Luxury by Summit Communication Group, we delve into the pressing challenges and groundbreaking opportunities the art world faces today. From the dominance of wealth and the erosion of critical discourse to the commodification of contemporary art and the relentless pace of the industry, the art world is at a crossroads.

Inspired by the transformative journey of the music industry over the past two decades, we envision a future where digital innovation and diversified revenue streams create a vibrant and inclusive art ecosystem. The art market can unlock new opportunities for artists, collectors, and audiences through virtual reality, hybrid galleries, AI-driven curation and community engagement. Embrace change and shape a future where technology enhances the intrinsic value of art, making it accessible to all while preserving its integrity.

The Tension Between Tradition and Modernity

With 20 years in the media-communications business, I've witnessed creative industries - luxury goods, music, live events, gaming, and tech - transform into monumental multi-billion-dollar sectors. Art and its institutions are a foundational pillar of our society, yet the art world has been slow to adapt its model, embrace change and experiment with innovation.

Collectors need a new vision, expertise and representation to grow their collections, unbound by physical constraints and to offer new ways for future generations to experience art. And now, we have strategies and techniques to help them find new meaning for art audiences - and for themselves.

Could a small group of influential people leading the major museums, galleries, auction houses, and art publications continue to define which artists would be celebrated? Art should dismantle consensus, not collude toward it. Unfortunately, today’s values often arise from consensus, leaving art preposterously overvalued (at least monetarily).

The music industry faced a similar tension when digital platforms like Napster emerged, challenging the traditional gatekeepers of record labels and radio stations. The rise of digital music democratized access, allowing independent artists to reach global audiences without the need for traditional intermediaries. This shift forced the industry to adapt, leading to the development of streaming services that have since become the dominant mode of music consumption. The art world might consider how digital platforms can similarly democratize access, breaking down the barriers set by traditional gatekeepers and creating new opportunities for artists to reach a global audience directly.

The Power of Money and Its Influence

The power of money in the art world is another challenging issue. The international art scene mirrors broader economic systems where wealth is concentrated among a select few. This leaves little for the artists who create the work, and the writers, curators, and non-profit organizations that play vital roles in the art ecosystem. The commodification of contemporary art, fueled by auction houses, raises significant concern. Until about 1985, contemporary art had a very low resale potential. Today, many buyers purchase contemporary art with the expectation of making quick money by “flipping” it, provided they have “invested” in the right artist. This shift has led to vast quantities of contemporary art constantly being repurposed into the market, pressuring artists to create "one-hit wonders" to satisfy the audience's insatiable appetite.

"Art has always been a reflection of the times, and today it mirrors the stark economic divide," says Marina Abramović, renowned performance artist.

"The concentration of wealth at the top means that art is increasingly seen as a commodity rather than a means of expression. This financial dynamic marginalizes the very creators who drive the industry forward."

In the music industry, the concentration of wealth is evident in the dominance of major record labels. However, the rise of crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Patreon has allowed artists to bypass traditional funding mechanisms, gaining financial support directly from their fan base. Amanda Palmer, for example, famously raised over $1 million on Kickstarter to fund her album, highlighting the potential for artists to take control of their financial destiny. The art world could explore similar crowdfunding models to provide artists with direct support from their audiences, reducing reliance on wealthy patrons and institutional gatekeepers.

The Disappearance of Critical Discourse

The disappearance of a truly critical apparatus is another problem. With few notable exceptions, art criticism is rarely critical, and this has been the case for a while. What happens when artists, emerging far from the critical consensus, leapfrog the entire gallery/museum/publication system simply by attracting thousands of Instagram likes and legions of YouTube followers?

"Social media has democratized art in many ways, but it has also diluted the depth of critique. Artists today can bypass traditional gatekeepers and gain instant fame through likes and shares. This phenomenon shifts the focus from the intrinsic value of art to its popularity, undermining the role of informed, critical discourse." Jerry Saltz, Senior Art Critic, New York Magazine.

The music industry has seen a similar trend with the rise of platforms like SoundCloud and TikTok, where artists can gain massive followings without the validation of traditional critics. While this democratization has allowed for more diverse voices to be heard, it also raises questions about the quality and longevity of the work being produced. Billie Eilish, who gained fame through platforms like SoundCloud, exemplifies this shift. For the art world, balancing the benefits of social media exposure with the need for critical discourse will be crucial in maintaining the integrity of the field.

Speed and Its Impact on Creativity: Embracing the 21st Century in the Art World

Speed defines today’s art world—speed of travel, electronic communications, human contacts, professional transactions, and transfers of massive amounts of information and wealth. The greater the speed, the less time there is for careful thought, meaningful exchanges, slow research, and genuine pleasure in art. This accelerated pace places tremendous pressure on artists to be in a constant state of creative production, compromising the quality of their work and the longevity of their careers.

"Speed is the enemy of deep creativity," observes Olafur Eliasson, a contemporary artist known for his large-scale installations. "The relentless pace of the art world pressures artists to produce continuously, often at the expense of thoughtful, meaningful work. We need to reclaim time for reflection and genuine engagement with art."

In the music industry, the pressure to release new content frequently is intense, driven by streaming platforms' algorithms that reward constant output. Artists like Drake, who release music regularly to stay relevant, highlight this trend. While this model can keep artists in the public eye, it can also lead to burnout and compromise the quality of their work. The art world must consider how to balance the need for visibility with the importance of giving artists the time to develop their craft deeply.

What Is a Museum Today?

Historically, museums focused on delivering goods and services—goods being the artworks and services encompassing the museum’s responsibility to collect, preserve, display and educate. Museums are no longer just repositories of art; they are dynamic spaces for community engagement and education. Balancing these roles while staying true to their mission is a delicate but essential task.

"The role of museums has evolved dramatically," Dan Hicks, Professor at Oxford University and curator at the Pitt Rivers Museum.

The evolution of music festivals provides an interesting parallel. Festivals like Coachella and Glastonbury have become cultural events that offer much more than music. They create immersive experiences that include art installations, workshops, and social activism. This multifaceted approach has broadened their appeal and deepened audience engagement. Museums can draw inspiration from this model by creating more immersive and interactive experiences that engage visitors beyond traditional exhibitions.

Engagement Through Experiential Marketing: The Era of Immateriality and Humanity

Music festivals have mastered the art of experiential marketing. Events like Burning Man create unique, immersive experiences that attract attendees year after year, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging. This model can be applied to the art world, where creating memorable, immersive experiences can draw visitors and deepen their connection to art. Museums and galleries can use experiential marketing to transform art from a static display to a dynamic, interactive experience.

Experiential marketing has become integral to museum management. According to Culture Track, visitors spend an average of 15 seconds in front of an artwork, and 81% visit museums for fun. This shift has led to phenomena like "Kusamafication," where museums create visually striking, Instagram-friendly exhibitions. While experiential marketing attracts visitors, it risks turning museums into sanitized entertainment centers. To avoid this, marketing activities must reinforce the museum’s mission to preserve and educate.

"Experiential marketing is key to attracting today's audiences," explains Michael Govan, CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). "However, we must ensure that these experiences enhance rather than overshadow the educational and cultural missions of our institutions."

The Ideal Museum

Today's museum should be more than just a building or institution. It should adapt to the competitive landscape, engage visitors, and extend its influence beyond its walls. Museums should highlight community challenges and serve as meeting places for diversity and dialogue.

"Museums should be centers of dialogue and diversity," asserts Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator of The Studio Museum in Harlem. "They should engage with their communities, addressing societal challenges and fostering inclusivity. A museum's success should be measured by its impact on people, not just its visitor numbers."

The new museum should not be defined by architectural glamour or a market-vetted collection but by its role as a shaper of values and the broad audience it attracts. The success of platforms like NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts demonstrates the power of intimate, inclusive experiences. By inviting artists to perform in a small, informal setting, Tiny Desk creates a sense of connection between the artist and the audience. Museums can take a cue from this model by creating more intimate, community-focused events that foster dialogue and engagement, measuring success by their impact on the community rather than just attendance figures.

The Virtual Museum

"Virtual reality is a game-changer for the art world," says Sarah Kenderdine, professor of digital museology at EPFL and director of the Laboratory for Experimental Museology. "VR can create immersive, interactive experiences that transcend physical boundaries, making art accessible to a global audience in unprecedented ways."

Virtual reality (VR) offers immersive, interactive experiences that can enhance the traditional museum visit. The New York Times article "Meeting Mona Lisa for an Intimate (Virtual) Rendez-vous" illustrates the growing demand for VR spaces. VR can transform how we experience art, making it more interactive and personalized. VR environments are immersive, interactive, computer-generated settings that complement, enhance, or augment the museum experience through personalization, interactivity, and rich content.

The music industry has already embraced VR and AR with virtual concerts. Artists like Travis Scott and Marshmello have hosted virtual performances within video games like Fortnite, attracting millions of viewers. These events create unique, interactive experiences that transcend traditional concert venues. Similarly, VR can enable museums to offer virtual tours and immersive exhibitions, making art accessible to those who cannot visit in person and creating new revenue streams.

Economic Models for Virtual Museums

VR allows users to experience art in new ways, offering deeper engagement, 360-degree access, and the ability to scrutinize artworks from all angles. This immersive experience can demystify art, making it more accessible and engaging. VR can significantly expand a museum's reach, accommodating millions of virtual visitors without compromising the quality of experience. This scalability can redefine how collections are promoted and distributed. VR can monetize digital content, offering variety, high quality, and convenience.

"Experiential marketing is key to attracting today's audiences. However, we must ensure that these experiences enhance rather than overshadow the educational and cultural missions of our institutions." Michael Govan, CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

The success of subscription services like Spotify and Netflix highlights the potential for virtual museums. These platforms generate consistent revenue through subscriptions while offering a vast library of content. Museums can adopt a similar model by providing access to virtual tours, exclusive content, and interactive experiences through subscription services. This approach can ensure financial stability and broaden access to cultural resources.

"VR can revolutionize the economics of museums," comments Elizabeth Merritt, Founding Director of the Center for the Future of Museums. "By offering virtual tours and exhibitions, museums can reach a wider audience and generate new revenue streams, ensuring their sustainability in the digital age."

Overcoming Barriers: How Can To Progress and Avoid the Circularity of Pre-History?

Despite its potential, VR faces barriers such as cost, technology, and content. Additionally, there is a social narrative that demonizes technology as dehumanizing. Communicating the humanistic applications of VR, such as its ability to generate empathy, can help overcome these challenges.

"Overcoming the barriers to VR adoption requires a shift in mindset," remarks David Dibosa, co-director of the MA in Curating and Collections at Chelsea College of Arts. "We need to view technology as a tool for enhancing human connection and empathy, rather than a dehumanizing force."

In the music business, platforms like Bandcamp have successfully used technology to build communities around artists. By offering direct sales, streaming, and community features, Bandcamp has created a platform that prioritizes artist and fan connections. The art world can similarly use technology to create platforms that foster direct engagement between artists and audiences, enhancing the human experience rather than detracting from it.

Separating Sales from the Art Experience in the Emerging Non-Object Era

The shift from physical album sales to streaming in the music industry provides a clear example. While physical sales have declined, streaming has opened up new revenue streams and made music more accessible.

"The music industry offers valuable lessons for the art world. By separating sales from the experience, we can create sustainable revenue models that do not compromise the integrity of the art. This approach democratizes access and fosters a more vibrant ecosystem." Scott Cohen, Chief Innovation Officer, Warner Music Group.

The transformation of the music industry over the past two decades offers a blueprint for evolving the art market. By separating the global annual art market (by sales) from the art experience (museums, galleries, and collectors), we can create a dynamic new industry. The key lies in embracing digital transformation and diversifying revenue streams.

The art world can explore similar models, such as virtual galleries and next generation marketplaces, to separate the commercial aspect of art from the experiential, ensuring that the integrity of the art experience is preserved while also generating revenue.

Streaming Services and Subscriptions

The rise of streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music has revolutionized how music is consumed. These platforms generate revenue through both ad-supported and subscription models. In 2021, streaming accounted for 65% of the total global recorded music revenues, reaching $16.9 billion. This shift has democratized access to music, allowing users to explore diverse genres and discover new artists easily. Spotify's success is a testament to the power of the subscription model. Launched in 2006, Spotify offers both free (ad-supported) and premium subscription services, providing users with access to a vast library of music. This model has ensured steady revenue and made music more accessible to a global audience.

"Imagine a Netflix for art," suggests Tim Schneider, art business editor at Artnet News. "Such a platform could offer virtual gallery tours, artist documentaries, and interactive exhibitions, democratizing access to art and providing a new revenue stream for the market." But, imagine it 10 years in the future, what does the global art streaming platform of tomorrow really look like?

High-Quality Art Merchandise

Imagine, if you will, a cascade of wealth so immense that it surpasses the entire gross domestic product of the United States. This is not a fantasy, but a future forecast according to the 2024 Family Wealth Transfer report by Altrata, drawn from the meticulous data of Wealth-X. In the coming decade, the world’s wealthiest individuals are poised to transfer nearly $31 trillion to the next generation, a monumental shift that will undoubtedly reshape the landscape of art and luxury brands.

As this colossal sum begins its journey from one generation to the next, it will do more than merely change hands; it will transform the ethos of affluence itself. The inheritors, hailing from Generation X, now in their mid-to-late 40s, will be the initial recipients of this legacy. Following closely will be the millennials and Generation Z, each cohort bringing with them distinct attitudes towards business, investments, social issues, art, and philanthropy.

This impending transfer signifies more than just the passage of money; it heralds the rise of a new class of ultra-wealthy individuals—those whose fortunes exceed $5 million. This shift promises to upend the art and luxury markets, introducing fresh perspectives and demands. Within this echelon, the Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals, whose net worth surpasses $100 million, will dominate, controlling over half of the $31 trillion legacy. Their influence will ripple through the art world, redefining the market and reshaping the cultural landscape for generations to come.

We call it 'pop culture' but high-quality art merchandise, including prints, apparel, and branded items, will provide additional revenue streams. The collaboration between the Van Gogh Museum and Vans, producing a line of shoes and apparel inspired by Van Gogh's paintings, attracted both art lovers and fashion enthusiasts. This collaboration was not only a commercial success but also brought Van Gogh's art to a younger, fashion-conscious audience. Such partnerships can extend the reach of artworks and create new revenue opportunities.

Licensing and Media Partnerships

Collaborating with media and brands for licensing deals allows art to be featured in movies, TV shows, and advertisements. Licensing artworks for popular media can significantly boost an artist's profile and market value, similar to how songs in films gain popularity and sales. The use of Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss" in various commercial products, from puzzles to home decor, illustrates how licensing can turn classic artworks into lucrative revenue streams.

"Licensing art for media can significantly boost an artist's profile," notes Brett Gorvy, co-founder of the art dealership Lévy Gorvy. "By featuring artworks in movies, TV shows, and advertisements, we can keep art relevant in contemporary culture and create lucrative revenue streams."

Consider the story of how the iconic "Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh has been licensed for countless products, from jigsaw puzzles to phone cases. This strategy not only generates revenue but also keeps the artwork relevant in contemporary culture, introducing it to new generations who may never have stepped into a museum. By partnering with brands, museums and galleries can create merchandise that appeals to different demographics, ensuring that art remains a part of everyday life.

Merchandise has become a significant revenue stream for the music industry. Artists like BTS generate substantial income from branded merchandise, including clothing, accessories, and collectibles. The art world can explore similar opportunities by creating high-quality art merchandise that appeals to a broad audience. Collaborations with fashion brands, for example, can introduce art to new demographics and generate additional revenue.

Virtual Exhibitions and VR Tours: A World of Minimalist, High-Tech, and Sustainable Creativity

Developing immersive VR/AR experiences allows users to explore artworks and exhibitions virtually, reaching a global audience. The "Salvador Dalí: In Search of Immortality" VR experience lets users step inside Dalí's surrealist world, offering an immersive way to engage with his art beyond physical boundaries.

Virtual reality has the potential to transform the way people experience art. In the music industry, virtual concerts have become increasingly popular, with artists like Travis Scott and Marshmello hosting virtual performances within video games like Fortnite. These events create unique, interactive experiences that attract millions of viewers. Similarly, virtual exhibitions and VR tours can offer immersive art experiences that reach a global audience, making art more accessible and generating new revenue streams.

"Virtual reality is a game-changer for the art world. VR can create immersive, interactive experiences that transcend physical boundaries, making art accessible to a global audience in unprecedented ways." Sarah Kenderdine, Professor of Digital Museology, EPFL and Director, Laboratory for Experimental Museology.

"Virtual reality can preserve and showcase art in dynamic ways," says Dominique de Font-Réaulx, director of the Musée Delacroix and head of interpretation and cultural programming at the Louvre. Launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, this allowed visitors worldwide to explore the museum’s vast collection from the comfort of their homes. This initiative not only broadened the museum’s reach but also opened new revenue streams through online donations and virtual ticket sales. The positive response demonstrated the potential of VR to revolutionize museum visits, making art accessible to a wider audience while generating income.

The Poetic Reign of Online Art Galleries

Platforms like Artsy and Saatchi Art enable users to browse and purchase art online, democratizing access to art. Establishing online galleries where collectors and art enthusiasts can view and buy art from around the world enhances accessibility and convenience. Artsy, with its extensive online platform, has facilitated over $20 billion in art sales since its inception. By bringing galleries and collectors online, Artsy has expanded the market reach and accessibility of art.

"Online platforms like Artsy bridge the gap between traditional galleries and the digital world," explains Carter Cleveland, founder and CEO of Artsy. "By hosting virtual exhibitions and offering comprehensive artist profiles, we empower smaller galleries and emerging artists to reach a global audience."

Artsy’s success lies in its ability to bridge the gap between traditional galleries and the digital world. Online platforms have revolutionized the way music is distributed and consumed. Bandcamp, for example, allows artists to sell their music directly to fans, offering both digital and physical formats. This model has empowered independent artists to reach a global audience without the need for a traditional record label. The art world can adopt similar models by establishing online galleries where collectors and art enthusiasts can view and purchase art from around the world, enhancing accessibility and convenience.

Data-Driven Decisions

Data-driven decisions have been pivotal in the music industry. Analytics has become essential for understanding listener behavior and trends. Platforms like Spotify and Soundcharts provide detailed analytics on listener demographics and preferences, enabling artists and labels to tailor their strategies effectively. The art world can develop similar tools to provide insights into art market trends, consumer behavior, and pricing patterns, helping artists, collectors, and investors make data-driven decisions.

Platforms like Soundcharts provide detailed analytics on listener demographics and preferences, enabling artists and labels to tailor their strategies effectively. Developing tools to provide insights into art market trends, consumer behavior, and pricing patterns can help artists, collectors, and investors make data-driven decisions. A platform offering real-time data on art sales, trends and valuations can assist collectors in making informed purchasing decisions, similar to how investors use stock market data.

ArtTactic is an example of how data analytics can transform the art market. "Data analytics can transform the art market," states Anders Petterson, founder of ArtTactic. "By providing detailed reports on market trends and artist performance, we enable collectors and investors to make informed decisions, much like data-driven platforms have done for the stock market."

AI-Driven Experience

"AI technology can personalize the art experience. An AI-driven recommendation system can introduce collectors to a wider array of artworks, fostering diversity and innovation in their collections." Richard Gray, CEO, Artnet.

The success of AI-driven recommendation systems in the music industry, such as Spotify's Discover Weekly, highlights the potential for similar applications in the art world. These systems analyze user behavior and preferences to suggest new music, keeping listeners engaged and introducing them to new artists.

An AI-driven recommendation system for art can personalize the user experience, suggesting artworks that match their tastes and previous interactions, leading to increased engagement and sales.

Community and Engagement

The music industry has leveraged social media and fan clubs to build strong communities around artists. Platforms like Patreon enable creators to build dedicated communities of supporters who pay for exclusive content and interactions. The art world can use similar models to foster deeper connections between artists and their audiences. Online communities and forums where art enthusiasts can connect, discuss, and share their passion for art can create a sense of belonging and engagement, driving loyalty and revenue.

"Building strong communities around art is essential. Online platforms and exclusive events can turn casual visitors into dedicated patrons, fostering loyalty and driving revenue." Larry Gagosian, Owner, Gagosian Gallery.

Platforms like Clubhouse have shown the potential for audio-based communities, where art lovers can engage in real-time discussions, participate in artist talks, and build networks. Building online communities can enhance the art experience, making it more interactive and social. These platforms can also serve as a valuable marketing tool for artists and galleries, driving engagement and sales through word-of-mouth and community support.

Exclusive Memberships

Offering memberships that provide access to private viewings, artist meet-and-greets, and special events can foster a sense of exclusivity and loyalty. A membership program offering behind-the-scenes access to exhibitions, exclusive previews of new artworks, and personal interactions with artists can deepen engagement and loyalty. The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Met Circle program offers exclusive benefits to its members, including private tours and special events, fostering a dedicated and engaged community of supporters.

"Membership programs offer exclusive access and foster loyalty. By providing behind-the-scenes access and personal interactions with artists, we deepen engagement and create a dedicated community of supporters." Max Hollein, Director, Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Met Circle members enjoy perks such as invitations to curator-led tours and early access to blockbuster exhibitions. This exclusive access not only enhances the member experience but also strengthens their connection to the institution. By providing value beyond the standard visit, museums can cultivate a community of engaged, loyal supporters who contribute to the institution's long-term success.

Who Owns the Future of Art?

By adopting strategies from the music industry, the art market can evolve into a dynamic and accessible industry. Emphasizing diverse revenue streams, digital experiences, robust distribution networks, data analytics, and community engagement will create new opportunities for artists, collectors, and audiences. This holistic approach will ultimately foster a thriving art ecosystem, much like the one that has revolutionized the music industry.

But as we stand on the brink of this transformation, we must ask ourselves: What role will we play in shaping the future of the art world? Will we cling to the old ways, or will we embrace the new, democratized art experience that technology offers? The implications of a global art streaming platform are profound. It promises to democratize access to art, breaking down the barriers that have long kept it in the hands of the elite. Yet, it also challenges us to rethink the value and experience of art in a digital age.

"The music industry faced a similar tension when digital platforms like Napster emerged, challenging the traditional gatekeepers of record labels and radio stations. The rise of digital music democratized access, allowing independent artists to reach global audiences without the need for traditional intermediaries." Tim Schneider, Art Business Editor, Artnet News.

We live in a period of non-consciousness, without a vision or a project. We must all ask ourselves profound questions about life, money, desire, war, and ourselves. As a designer, I believe it is my responsibility to participate in the search for meaning and the construction of a civilized world.

But it's not enough for designers alone to act. We must all ponder and ask ourselves questions about our own professions, lives, and love. We must work together, showing solidarity on a global scale, to ensure the survival of our species and the construction of a truly civilized world.

"It was worth making (Double Life of) Véronique for that girl. It was worth working for a year, sacrificing all that money, energy, time, patience, torturing yourself, killing yourself, taking thousands of decisions, so that one young girl in Paris should realize that there is such a thing as a soul. It's worth it." Krzysztof Kieślowski, Filmmaker

So, I leave you with this question: what role will you play in shaping the future of art? Will you simply let the mutations of society wash over you without any effort to influence them, or will you actively participate in influencing a better world for all? We will all choose.
