What makes the German art market so unique? And how did the European art market, as seen at Art Cologne, respond to the results of $2.2 billion worth of auctions in New York in the two weeks leading up to the fair?
Veteran art advisor Josh Baer covers these questions and much more as he and Daniel Hug, director and artistic director of Art Cologne, trade stories from their multi-decade careers attending and exhibiting at art fairs around the globe. In this talk at Art Cologne on Friday, November 17, 2023, Josh and Daniel also discuss the real takeaways from the recent auction season, the history of the world’s oldest art fair, and how art collecting has evolved from a time when even middle-class couples could build world-class collections.
