Emerging Trends in the Global Art Market

Role: Organizer 

Time: 2025/07/19

Address: The BLANC, 15 E 40TH ST, 12F, New York

Emerging Trends in the Global Art Market examines the evolving dynamics and future trajectories of the Asian art ecosystem within the broader structural transformations of the global market. Generational shifts, geopolitical fluctuations, and the rise of online platforms are reshaping circulation and value production, while new collector groups are redefining cultural and economic paradigms. From Mainland China and Hong Kong to South Korea, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, developments in policy, capital, and institutions are converging to create a complex and promising landscape.

The event is structured around two conversations. The first addresses structural changes in the global art market, considering how economics, capital flows, and regional policies shape cultural narratives at a global scale. The second focuses on next-generation collecting, discussing shifting behaviors, aesthetic values, and the role of youth-driven forces in redefining market discourse. Together, these dialogues offer a timely reflection on both the current state and future direction of the art market.
