African art on the art market: calm after the storm [26/12/2023]
“Cautious” is probably the best way to describe the art market’s current mood with respect, notably, to Contemporary African artists. Despite solid prices still being hammered for major Modern signatures and for some very ‘museum-visible’ Contemporaries, auction results have cooled off for many of the artists who were intensely coveted last year. The urgency of […]

It’s as fragile as love.” Nicolas de Staël, 1954 Every twenty years or […]
