Georgina Adam previews her brand new book Dark Side of the Boom

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, Georgina Adam,
contributor at the Financial Times and art market editor-at-large
of The Art Newspaper, joins us to chat about some of the key topics
in her brand new book, Dark Side of the Boom: The Excesses of the
Art Market in the 21st Century. First, Georgina identifies how
prevalent certain shady aspects of the art market are, such as
fakes, tax avoidance, money laundering, etc. Then, she discusses
the secretive nature of freeports and what it was like to walk
through Le Freeport in Luxembourg. Also, Georgina dissects the
greatest example of speculation during the last boom, the Zombie
Formalist movement, and where the artists, galleries and collectors
are today. Lastly, Georgina reveals the most interesting legal
dispute in the art market today and she tells us to what extent
greater regulation should be introduced in the marketplace.
