Katya Kazakina Recaps Last Week's Major Contemporary Auctions

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, art market reporter Katya Kazakina joins us to recap last week's major contemporary auctions. First, Katya discusses the incredible high prices achieved during the auctions by several younger and mid-career artists and why it has prompted talk of a bubble in the contemporary art market. Then, she touches on museums' interest in artists of color and female artists and how that is impacting demand for their work on the primary and secondary market. Katya has also been monitoring the significantly high number of deaccessioning occurring at museums during the pandemic and explains why some incidents have been more controversial than others. Finally, as the year is winding down and we look ahead to 2021, Katya gives us a sense of what peoples' expectations for the art market are moving forward.
