Art Market Blog with Nicholas Forrest
Visit the Art Market Blog.
Art Market Blog’s coverage revolves around art sales and art auction results, but also include regular insights into artists that have caught Nicholas Forrest’s eye, and wider market insights.
The entries that focus on sales and auction results tend to be one part reportage, one part analysis, and help readers get to grips with what results might mean for them. Those entries do a great job, but it is through the artist insights and identification of investment opportunities that Forrest’s blog stands out. We consider these posts to be a particularly useful resource, which we specifically commend to all new art collectors – not least because the posts highlight the sort of considerations collectors should take account of when deciding purchases from an investment perspective.
The succinct and accessible entries work particularly well for those looking for a snappy insight into the art market. Anyone who likes to keep a watching brief on the art market, or who like to get the inside track on potential investment opportunities, should check out this blog.
