In this episode of The Pearl Lam Podcast, Pearl Lam meets in London with Anders Petterson, founder and CEO of the art-market research firm ArtTactic. Anders traces his path from investment banking into contemporary art and examines how the market has shifted over the past 25 years, noting that the present moment represents a significant turning point for many galleries.
The discussion covers the pressures associated with major art fairs such as Frieze and Art Basel, the effects of geopolitical instability and economic slowdown, and the widening divide between mega-galleries and younger spaces. With Pearl contributing her perspective as a gallerist, the conversation expands to consider sustainability, risk, and the forms of art ecosystems that may be viable in the decades to come.
