Art Galleries Are Still Not OK—Now What? In the latest episode of The Baer Faxt Podcast, Josh sits down with Marc Spiegler, Cultural Strategies Consultant, former CEO of Art Basel and author of the New York Times piece that set the art world talking, along with Amy Cappellazzo, one of the most respected art advisors in the business and founder of Art Intelligence Global. Between the three of them, there’s over a century of experience in the art world—and they’re not here to commiserate. From the structural failures that predate the current crisis, to price transparency, to a student’s idea that might actually save galleries money, this is an honest conversation about the gallery model that has struggled to adapt to changing conditions. Is FOMO a business model? (No.) Is hope a strategy? (Also no.)
