THE BAER FAXT
The art world’s most trusted source of breaking news, insider intelligence and art market insights since 1994
For nearly three decades, The Baer Faxt has been trusted as the leading news source for the art world. Unlike market reporters who investigate the art world as outsiders, The Baer Faxt offers direct access to the key players shaping the art business.
The Baer Faxt was launched in 1994 as a faxed weekly newsletter for industry insiders. With the support of investors LionTree and Glenn Furhman, it has expanded to include a first-of-its-kind auction database—which provides data on buyers and underbidders gathered live on the salesroom floor, an art advisory membership program, and a suite of digital content offerings under The Baer Faxt+.
The Baer Faxt has been featured in the Financial Times, The Art Newspaper, and Bloomberg, and was recently named along with Josh Baer to Observer's Business of Art Power List for 2023. Our diverse team hails from around the globe, with cross-industry backgrounds ranging from auctions, to journalism, and corporate consulting.
Since 1994, The Baer Faxt newsletter, reported by art advisor Josh Baer, has been the industry’s premier source for art market news, delivering breaking updates and insights to the upper echelon of art collectors and dealers weekly. The newsletter's 1700+ subscribers include over 40 billionaires. Learn more
