Think Like An Art World Expert

Talking with us this week is London based artist, Dale Lewis and his representative, Jeremy Epstein Co-Founder of Edel Assanti.

We firstly spoke to Dale about how he got into producing art and his move away from textiles, and the various art institutions he attended before finding and focusing on his current practice.

We asked Jeremy how he got into the art world; what led to him start the Edel Assanti gallery and how he discovers artists that fit with the mission of the business.

Later in the conversation, we heard from both Dale and Jeremy about how they met and began working together, and the positive aspects, as well as the challenges of being represented and of representing an artist.

Welcome to series 3 of the Think Like an Art World Expert podcast. In this series, we will look closely at artist representation.

In the upcoming episodes, starting on Wednesday 23 October, we will look at what ways artists are represented in today’s art world. We will examine how artists go about promoting their art when there is so much competition; those who are moving away from the traditional gallery model and the new models for representation.

In our final podcast for Series 2, we speak with young collector, Charlotte Fletcher.

In this episode, Charlotte introduces us to the world of art collecting and we explore the reasons why people start their collections.

We also discuss how she developed a connection with the artist who produced the first piece she bought and why this connection is such an important value for young millennials when collecting art.

Charlotte also explains the importance of conservation when establishing a collection to ensure the longevity and maintain the quality of the works.

Finally, we announced an exciting project that we are undertaking – The Christie’s Education Young Collectors Club – which will launch in September 2019. Stay tuned for more updates on that.

Many thanks for listening to Series 2 of the podcast. We really appreciate you taking the time to follow us and hope that we have offered some useful advice that proves helpful with your career in the art world.
