Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Rothschild to Make-Ready: Scaling Avant Arte’s Global Print Revolution
Q: What was the strategic case for buying Make-Ready, rather than continuing to outsource printmaking?
The strategic case was to gain control over the supply chain, guarantee quality at scale, and deepen value for artists by integrating the studio, which would enable more ambitious collaboration and maintain high craftsmanship as the business grows.
From Banking to Brushstrokes: Lara Julian’s Layered Journey
Q: Has the practice moved from a system, to feeling, or is the feeling the viewer's business rather than yours?
The artist describes a balance between systematic, analytical approaches to color and composition, and a evolving personal feeling that emerges as the painting develops its own soul and dialogue with the viewer; the process is dialogic and unfolds over time, influencing both the naming and interpretation of the works.
Curating the Non-Human: Maria Hinel on Art, Philosophy and Animal Agency
Q: Do you mainly select works that already exist or do artists respond to your philosophical idea?
It's a two-way process: she collaborates with artists she has known and also invites responses to specific ideas, sometimes including historical works to enrich the show and emphasize a shared ground across media.
Valuing the Priceless: Antiquities, Provenance and the Art Market
Q: How has provenance changed the market for antiquities?
Provenance has become essential due to legal and ethical concerns, with a shift toward documenting origin and chain of custody to avoid illicit trade and to reassure institutions and collectors alike.
Valuing the Priceless: Antiquities, Provenance and the Art Market
Q: What makes antiquities different from other art forms in terms of value?
Value comes not only from aesthetics but from rarity, historical context, material quality, and the object's provenance, with extensive use of comparisons over long historical timelines to estimate worth.
