The art world is at a turning point. Digital technologies are reshaping creative work and the art ecosystem. Funding models are shifting. Institutions are under pressure to adapt. And new opportunities are emerging — often outside traditional structures.
Most coverage focuses on exhibitions, auctions, and headlines. I’m more interested in what’s changing beneath the surface.
The Overview documents the structural shifts shaping the future of the art ecosystem — and what they mean for the people working within it.
What I Cover
The Art Market in Motion

Institutional Adaptation

The Overview is for people thinking seriously about the future of art:
• Foundation and museum professionals
