FutureModern
Visit the FutureModern art blog.
FutureModern mainly combines a rolling commentary of its author’s (the artist George Rodart) art discoveries, and his longer-term thoughts about art and the art world.
Rodart would like to see the art world progress in terms of the quality and creativity expressed by artists, and often endorses experimental art. The art he chooses to cover in his blog is a good representation of this ethos.
Many of the forward-looking articles on FutureModern are explicitly opened-up for debate and comments, which works well; requests for discussion tend to get a good response.
Rodart chooses to paint the things that rise to the top of his consciousness – rather than seeking to rationalise his way to a decision. For a look at his art go to http://www.georgerodart.com/.
We find FutureModern a consistently excellent place to get a birds-eye view of the art marketplace. Combined with the thought provoking shorter articles, we recommend FutureModen to any art lover.
We like this article:
Looking at the art market at the start of the 21st century, February 14, 2006
Why we like it:
The entry and related comments showcase Rodart’s interest in politics and economics. (He has a seperate blog called FutureModern Finance.)
The post sets out a very astute and cohesive view of the growth of the art market, and presents the view that the fortunes of the art market has become closely tied into that of the wider economy.
