This week, Georgina and Tom dip their feet into the massive topic of the art market in Latin America. They are joined by Maria Sancho-Arroyo, art market specialist, lecturer, and author of ¿Inversión o pasión?: Una guía para navegar por el mercado del arte, a guide to navigating the art market.
Freshly back from ARTBO in Bogotá, Maria reports on Colombia's homegrown collectors and artists, and why so much Latin American collecting happens not at home but in Miami, New York, London, or Madrid.
They explore the punishing import taxes that keep markets like Brazil largely domestic, and the national-treasure laws that stop works ever leaving Mexico. Plus, the role of Tate and MoMA's acquisition committees in building visibility.
Enjoy!
