de PURY's Simon de Pury on their Artist Friendly Curated Auctions

In this week's edition of the ArtTactic Podcast we speak with Simon
de Pury, founder of de PURY, about their new series of curated
auctions in which artists receive the proceeds from the auction.
First, Simon shares the concept behind this new auction series and
how it came about. Then, he speculates why we are at a point now
where artists are more inclined to embrace auctions after it being
such a taboo arena for them for so many years. Also, Simon reflects
on how long he has been contemplating artists' exclusion from the
auction process and how they can be more involved. After, he
reveals what conversations were like with artists who wanted to
participate and why some chose not to do so.
