An artist's gift is not only what they create, but how they see. They reveal patterns, truths, and possibilities hidden in plain sight. Society moves forward because someone first imagined it.

A woman is looking at her phone where she is learning more about a painting on the wall that has an NFC chip attached to it.

Collecting has expanded beyond the wall.

We’ve Had Enough of Experts (Apparently) The Diary of an Art Advisor

We’re told to “do our own research”, but it’s often just a liability waiver. The seller shrugs, the buyer takes the risk, and expertise gets reframed as something vaguely elitist.

Art funds don’t fail because art is worthless. They fail because the fund structure is the wrong shape for art.

This week’s essay is about what prices in the art world are actually measuring - not value, but position. Context. Leverage. Urgency. Who is standing behind the number.

The Land Down Under (Bring Snacks) 🇦🇺 Vegemite is makeup. Tim Tams are tools. Koalas are cute, stoned, and dangerous. Australia waltzes to its own beat - and that culture shapes artists who couldn’t come from anywhere but The Land Downund...

No matter how far, Or how wide I roam,
I still call Australia home”
~ I Still Call Australia Home, Peter Allen, 1980

🇦🇺 Happy Australia Day 🇦🇺

From the Land Downunder, spotlighting creatives who couldn’t come from anywhere else.

Dear Greg, how do I know if a young artist's work is worth it? Want to invest in a young artist? Our Agony Aunt Greg Rook explains how to distinguish flash-in-the-pan trends from work that endures.

How do you tell if a young artist’s work will last - not just trend? Most artists who have a moment soon find that it is just a moment. The spotlight moves on - the work doesn’t suddenly become bad.

Why are art galleries so weird about prices? Watch if you collect, are thinking about collecting, or have ever felt wrong-footed in a gallery.
