Georgina Adam

Welcome to the Art Market Podcast with me, Tom Forward.

And me, Georgina Adam.

This week is our Freeze special episode.

Our plan this week is to run around London together.

Apparently, I spoke a few years ago to an insurance person who said that this is the art fair with the most expensive insurance because it is basically in a tent in the middle of the park.

And in theory, someone could just borrow in under the floor and come up and take whatever they wanted.

I just wanted to talk a little bit about the history of the fair before Georgina and I get into... what's happening today.

Freeze as an art fair grew out of a magazine called Freeze, which was a magazine started by Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp in 1991 that was really also born out of the whole YBA scene in the early 90s.

Hello and welcome to the Art Market Podcast with me, Georgina Adam.

And with me, Tom Ford.

So today we're very excited because we have a very special guest, Katharine Arnold of Christie's, Vice Chairman of 20 and 21st Century Art, also Head of the Post-War and Contemporary Art Department, Europe.

So welcome, Catherine.

Thanks, Georgina.

Hi, Tom.

It's nice to see you both.

And I think everything we've discussed up until now shows that it's not right, that you could in theory have AI running everything.

Hello and welcome to the Art Market Podcast with me, Tom Ford.

And with me, Georgina Adam.

This week, we are continuing our theme of exploring different regions of the world.

Last week, we were looking at South Korea.

And this week, we are looking at a part of the world that we've been really keen to look at in greater depth, which is the art market or the... better put, the many, many art markets that exist in South America, Latin America, we shall discuss what the correct term is.

And we are very, very happy to be joined in this discussion by Maria Sancho Arroyo.

who is a fellow teacher of mine at Sotheby's Institute of Art and occasionally Georgina.

You've done a few lessons there.

It's a big deal in the art world.

Uh, Georgina Adam has just, you know, produced a book on that, on the, on-

Yeah
