Change is in the air.
The auction market, long dominated by work made by White men, is demonstrating some semblance of market diversityânot only in whatâs offered, but also by how much people are willing to pay.
âIn a way, the headline this week is about diversity in so many ways,â says Bonnie Brennan, president for the Americas at Christieâs. âNot only in the artists themselves, but the [artworksâ] medium, style, and price points.â Yes, she continues, there were solid results for established names, âbut the more electric moments this week have been around newer and more emerging artists.â
