The Art Detective is a weekly column by Katya Kazakina for Artnet News Pro that lifts the curtain on what’s really
going on in the art market.
From his home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, 27-year-old dealer Connor Remes talks to dozens of art buyers every week. Most are in their 20s and 30s, based in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and pursue works ranging from $10,000 to $1.5 million. Frequent conversations involve emerging artists with soaring markets like Amoako Boafo and Eddie Martinez and others who are poised to take off, like Ivy Haldeman and Szabolcs Bozó.
