Pekin Fine Arts' Meg Maggio on the state of the Chinese contemporary art market

In this week’s episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, we’re joined by
Meg Maggio, Director of Pekin Fine Arts, a Beijing and Hong Kong
based contemporary art gallery. First, Meg addresses to what extent
the recently volatile Chinese stock market and economy has impacted
the Chinese contemporary art market. Then, she explains, unlike the
wave of speculation for young artists that has occurred in the US
and European art market, a healthier environment exists in China
for young artists at this moment. Also, with galleries in Hong Kong
and Beijing, Meg shares with us some of the notable differences
between operating an art gallery in these two locations. Further,
Meg assesses the level of success experienced by US and European
art galleries who opened locations in China over the past few
years. Lastly, she identifies some of the exciting visual art
trends in the Chinese contemporary art world.
