This episode of the Bakerhouse Gallery Art Quickie explores the shockwave that will sweep through the international art market in 2025: Across the world, one gallery failure follows another – from the venerable Blum & Poe to the Clearing Gallery. These cases paint a clear picture: the traditional gallery model is in deep crisis. I explore why so many galleries are failing and then analyze the current Artsy Gallery Report 2025, which ruthlessly reveals the factors that determine online success or failure.
Finally, I'll take you to Korea, where Galerie K is embroiled in a scandal worth more than €70 million – a case that's almost unknown to anyone in Europe so far. This episode is a quickie in name only: At just under 22 minutes, it's an intensive, all-around look at the explosive realities of the art market in 2025.
