Art Basel

And then I had a show with Frederick Schnitzer in Miami, and Fred is kind of the dean of Miami galleries.

And he showed my work at Art Basel.

He does a booth at Art Basel every year.

So that's been really great.

And since I'm in both of the museums in Miami, my work is in both collections, the Perez and the ICA.

It becomes a strategic advantage.

I think Art Basel was my client.

We launched a chocolate milk with DJ Khaled and Oh, wow.

It was a very fruitful and exciting four years.

Remember, there's Central Park next Saturday.

In December is the Art Basel.

I think it's like December 4th.

And then in May 2027 is Barcelona.

So that was the deal that it was actually... like like threatening like in terms yeah i think i think

i think that they that they shut down art basel paris early because they were afraid that the that the last two days of the art fair there were going to be huge protests outside and that perhaps the protesters would be like oh let's go destroy this like elitist art fair of like million dollar works of art which in a way they probably would have if they caught wind of it

But what about all the artists, like our people we know who had work there? Well, that's

the great irony of it is that, you know...

Globally, I think people feel like the U.S. consumer has a little bit more resilience right now.

After Freeze London and Art Basel Paris, we look at the overall global health of the fine art market.

That's all coming up on The Globalist, live from London.

Before we begin our coverage of the Israeli elections, let's have a quick look at what else is happening in today's news.

You're listening to The Globalist on Monocle Radio.

Now let's take a closer look at the global art market.

Freeze London has wrapped up in Regent's Park and in Paris, Art Basel under the vaulted iron ceiling of the Grand Palais has also concluded.

Both have concluded in recent weeks, so we now look ahead.

He was also beginning to hobnob at art world events.

In 2010, Black attended Art Basel Miami Beach and was seated at a W Magazine dinner for Don and Mero Rubel next to Stefano Tanchi, the publication's editor at the time.

In 2012, he bought the art book publisher Phaedon and in 2014, he added the online art concern ArtSpace to its holdings.

So basically the godfather of art at this point, right? If you're doing anything in high-end art, you're probably involved with Leon Black.

Could people from Tampa drive to St. Pete? They can.

It's kind of – it's not – I mean, the comparable would be if you've been to Art Basel and crossed that bridge.

Like, the bridge from Tampa to St. Pete can get crazy during rush hour.

And so could someone from Tampa drive to St. Pete for a World Series? Yes.
