Strauss & Co's Susie Goodman on the African art market

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, Susie Goodman,
executive director at Strauss & Co, a leading auction house in
South Africa, joins us to discuss the African art market. First,
Susie tells us about the evolution of the African art market over
the past 10 years and what role South African has played as the
most established art market. Then, she tells us to what extent
renowned African contemporary artists, such as Julie Mehretu,
Marlene Dumas and Njideka Akunyili Crosby, are collected by African
collectors and she also identifies lesser known African artists
worthy of consideration by global collectors. Susie also touches on
the success of female artists in Africa as well as how the politics
of the continent has influenced the kind of art being made by
contemporary artists.
