Art Basel 2025 Recap with Artnet News' Vivienne Chow

In this week’s episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is
joined by Vivienne Chow, London Correspondent and Co-founder of The
Asia Pivot at Artnet News, to unpack the key takeaways from this
year’s Art Basel. They discuss the overall mood at the fair, what
the slower pace from young and seasoned collectors means for the
market, and why there was a notable drop in attendance from
American and Asian collectors. Vivienne shares insights into how
galleries are adapting, the evolving regional character of major
fairs, and what all of this signals for the state of the art market
heading into the summer. They also explore how younger collectors
are shifting away from fast-paced speculation toward more
intentional collecting, and how this trend is influencing sales
strategies on the ground. Finally, the episode considers what lies
ahead for the global art market as it heads into its summer break.
