Conversations | Art Market Talk | The Social Media Art Market

The digital realm is now established as a place to see and be informed about art. What effect does buying through this channel have on artists, dealers and collectors? Are collectors buying art unseen from artists and gallerists they do not know, and could this be leading to broader global collections? Is the digital world replacing the experience of seeing art in the physical space? In this panel, three artworld experts debate the issues of buying art on Instagram and other social media platforms.

Amadeo Kraupa-Tuskany, Founder and Director, Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler, Berlin; Tobias Gombert, Collector, Basel.
