19. Tim Schneider - How to Fail at Disrupting the Art Market

In Episode 19 of the Art Market Podcast, Georgina and Tom are joined by one of the great thinkers in the art market, Tim Schneider, the journalist and author of The Great Reframing⁠, and writer of the long-running ⁠The Gray Market⁠.

Tim joins Georgina and Tom to dissect some of the dynamics of the art market today, including:

  • Why the gallery world is a 'matching market', like Hollywood, Birkins, and Ferraris - not a retail market.

  • Why outsiders from tech and finance keep trying, and failing, to "disrupt" the art market.

  • Why the hoped-for $93 trillion Great Wealth Transfer might have been oversold.

  • Whether AI is pushing young buyers towards Modern Art and Old Masters.

  • And finally, the death of journalism and where good art-market information actually lives now.

Enjoy!
