The at market is shifting perceptibly this week. The lawyers are new price expectations, new interest in historical artists and rising fears of attacks like the one facing Christie’s. My Sunday newsletter: puck.news/visit-to-new-y…

As gigaweek begins in New York, the big auction houses are fantasizing about more than a billion in sales—down from last year, sure, but also not terrible for a year without a signature artist or collection in the spotlight.

Inigo Agonistes! The art world wunderkind is out of prison and as cocky as ever. An HBO series in development and a BBC documentary mean he’s not likely to go away anytime soon. But what about his former partners? How do they feel? puck.news/inigo-philbric…

The big show in DC is Pierre Bonnard at the Phillips Collection. I talked to new-ish director Jonathan Binstock about his plans for the jewel-box museum’s future + Marianne Boesky is blowing Danielle McKinney the old-fashioned way, with market discipline. puck.news/danielle-mckin…

A stagnant May auction season in New York got a major jolt via six works by O’Keeffe, Carrington, and Mitchell, with combined low estimates of nearly $60 million.

Georgia O'Keeffe, Leonora Carrington & Joan Mitchell all have works in the May sales that could breathe new life into the global art market. Not one of these 3 artists thought their sex had anything to do with their art, vision or stature.

The business of art, often misunderstood in the media, is a mysterious alchemy of ego, economic cycles, and a genuine passion for the sublime.
