In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, Dr Iain Robertson, head of art business at the Sotheby's Institute of Art in London, joins us to discuss his new book, New Art, New Market, exploring several emerging contemporary art markets. First, Iain explains why he decided to write the book now and identifies which geographies he explores in the book. Then, he tells us which markets he is feeling most bullish about and which ones have him most concerned. Also, Iain discusses the extent to which western art collectors are collecting artists from emerging art markets and how that differs from a decade ago before the economic crisis. Lastly, he explains government's ideal role in the development of a nascent contemporary art market.
