Art Market Journalist Scott Reyburn on the Red Chip Art Phenomenon

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, Scott Reyburn, art
market journalist who frequently writes in The New York Times and
The Art Newspaper, joins us to discuss the red chip art phenomenon,
a new term he coined to describe the art by younger artists that
have appeared at auction selling for staggering amounts. First,
Scott tells us about the term he coined and the corresponding
phenomenon happening at auction. Then, Scott identifies some of the
noticeable differences between this current art market cycle and
previous ones. Also, he discusses the role that Instagram is
playing in the art market to push demand and prices for art by
emerging artists. Further, Scott explains why the current market
has some questioning art as an alternative asset and shares if
insiders believe this current trend will continue for the next few
years.
