O ano está lentamente a chegar ao fim, mas o panorama artístico continua a ser interessante. O nosso chefe numas merecidas férias. Saudações da sua equipa!
Life without a pug is possible, but pointless. We know this phrase from Loriot. You may not agree with the breed, but what could be better than dachshunds? Life is pointless without a dog.
Elliott Erwitt, one of the grand masters of photography, also knew this. Having left at the end of November, we would like to pause here for a moment to remember him.
There is also news on the auction market. According to the FT, the now French auction house Sotheby's itself is available on the market. When will the hammer fall?
The trade fair year is drawing to a close, not only in Europe but also worldwide. The last fair to be held on the old continent will be the third edition of Art Antwerp, the subsidiary of Art Bruxelles, which is only in its third edition due to coronavirus.
Now that the industry's major flagships have undergone consolidation and, unfortunately, "our" in-house fair, Art Cologne, has also lost ground, the focus is shifting to regional fairs. Be it Munich Highlights, viennacontemporary, positions in Berlin or Art Antwerp, regional fairs are increasingly setting the tone.
Why not? Quite the opposite!
Regionality is making the market more exciting again.
Let's hope that this aspect will also prevail in terms of sustainability.
Pre-Christmas greetings from the Zilkens Fine Art Insurance Broker team with best regards
