EP 51: Is the Economic Center of the Art World Shifting?


Listen Later

I am back from the LA fairs, hoo boy, do I have some impressions. There was so much to do and see relative to New York’s Frieze week, that I started to wonder if New York would continue to be the economic center for art!


In this podcast I discuss the biz, trends, and art so you have all the information you need to know whether participating in the LA Fairs is worth the investment.

You’ll also get the skinny on each fair so you get a sense of the flavor of each.

By the end, you'll be armed with everything you need to navigate and succeed in the art fair environment.
