Art Basel’s Marc Spiegler Talks Art Markets

“It’s important to remember that there was already a thriving art world before the boom. And to the extent that the boom has receded, it still leaves more behind than was there before. In fact, what we saw at Art Basel Miami Beach in December was that collectors who left the market because they didn’t like the boom-time competitive atmosphere were actually returning. So there is an influx even as there’s an exodus.”
