W8 Advisory's Bimpe Nkontchou on the Contemporary African Art Market

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, we're joined by
Bimpe Nkontchou, founder & managing principal of W8
Advisory, a multi-family office and wealth management practice,
based in London, focused on high net worth African families. First,
we ask Bimpe why there is suddenly increased focus on the
contemporary African art scene. Then, she tells us if African high
net worth families are viewing contemporary African art as an
alternative asset class. Also, Bimpe shares if Africans are
beginning to collect art in response to the increased popularity of
contemporary African art. Additionally, she explains how vital art
patronage is to the African art community as well as the important
role established African artists are playing to ensure that
emerging artists can develop their practices and careers.
