Cultural Industries Breakfast: The Future of the Art Market with Marc Spiegler

As part of the Visiting Scholars Program, this session with Marc Spiegler, cultural strategies consultant, focused on The Future of the Art Market. The conversation examined how the traditional art ecosystem, built around artists, galleries, collectors, museums, auction houses, and fairs, is evolving in response to new commercial models, technological innovation, and global connectivity. 

Spiegler explored the emergence of alternative pathways where digital platforms, advisors, agents, and social media now play a significant role in both commercial success and cultural validation. The session highlighted how the market is becoming more accessible, decentralized, and hybrid, prompting institutions and professionals to rethink long-standing structures and definitions of artistic value.
