The WSJ's Kelly Crow recaps last week's contemporary auctions

In this week's edition of the ArtTactic Podcast, Kelly Crow, art
market reporter for The Wall Street Journal, joins us to recap last
week's major Post-War and Contemporary auctions in New York. First,
Kelly addresses the fact that there were few trophy pieces up for
auction this season and she speculates if this was due to a lack of
estates or if this is a reflection on market sentiment. Then, Kelly
identifies some bargain shopping that occurred in the evening
sales. Also, she explains why we witnessed several auction records
for an older generation of African American artists who are finally
being recognized by collectors and museums. Further, Kelly reveals
if there is concern about the very quick spike in prices for
younger artists at auction and to what extent Asia is pushing up
prices for these artists. Lastly, Kelly addresses an unfortunate
situation that she is currently reporting on regarding famed
collector Donald Bryant.
