2. The London Spring Auctions & the constant rise of Buyer’s Premiums

In Episode 2 of the Art Market Podcast, Georgina Adam and Tom Forwood break down the latest London art auctions, the first major test of the global art market in 2026. Despite geopolitical tensions and market uncertainty, the results reveal a surprising sense of resilience and relief to many. But beneath the surface, the data tells a more complex story...

In the second half, Georgina and Tom deep dive into why buyer’s premiums keep rising (and whether the model is sustainable), and how auction houses compete for consignments behind the scenes.

Enjoy!
