When a Collection changes Generations

  • Art

Nearly $31 trillion will change hands by 2035, from roughly 1.2 million individuals with a net worth above $5 million – the largest generational transfer of wealth ever recorded. This is the figure at the center of Deloitte’s latest Art & Finance Report, presented at the seventeenth edition of the Deloitte Private Art & Finance Conference in New York. Art and collectibles, conservatively estimated at 5% of that total, correspond to roughly $1 trillion in works set to change ownership over the next decade – nearly $100 billion a year.

Collecting Beyond the Market

  • Culture

A recent Artsy Editorial feature offers an in-depth conversation with Ernesto Esposito – designer, collector and artistic director – reflecting on more than four decades of engagement with contemporary art while exploring what collecting truly means today. Far removed from a vision shaped solely by the market, Esposito describes his collection as the result of a personal journey that began in the 1970s, when he acquired his very first artwork: a silkscreen from Andy Warhol’s celebrated Electric Chair series. It was not a decision driven by financial value, but by instinct. “Great works of art,” he explains, “do not provide answers. They continue to ask questions that remain with us throughout our lives.”

Donald Baechler

Donald Baechler and the time of rediscovery

  • Art

Emerging in the same years and within the same New York circles as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, yet developing a visual language entirely his own, Donald Baechler (1956–2022) built a vocabulary of faces, flowers and globes, rendered in a deliberately unsteady line over dense collaged backgrounds – a practice the artist always described as essentially abstract, grounded in questions of line, form and balance. The recent auction result of $179,200 in New York for The Butterfly Flower #3 (1996), mixed media – acrylic, paper and fabric collage on canvas – measuring 147.3 × 101.6 cm, has reignited international collector interest.

Contemporary Market Insight: H1 2026

  • Culture

Over the past few years, the contemporary art market has undergone a profound transformation. Following the remarkable momentum of 2021 and 2022, and the subsequent slowdown driven by global economic uncertainty, the first half of 2026 offers a much clearer picture of what truly defines value in today’s collecting landscape. Rather than witnessing an indiscriminate market expansion or a period of contraction, we are seeing the emergence of a more mature ecosystem in which quality, cultural relevance, and the strength of an artist’s practice have once again become the primary drivers of collectors’ decisions. The focus has shifted away from the speed of transactions and toward the enduring ability of artworks to retain historical, critical, and institutional significance over time.

Adam Handler Residency

  • Culture

There are artists who develop a style, and there are artists who create a language. A vocabulary of signs, figures, and symbols so personal that a signature becomes almost unnecessary, because the work is immediately recognizable. Adam Handler belongs to this rare tradition. His wide-eyed characters, the figures suspended between memory and imagination, and the essential line that defines his practice have become one of the most distinctive visual languages in contemporary international painting. Beneath the apparent immediacy of his images lies a profound reflection on memory, childhood, and the primal emotions that connect human experience, revealing an ability to speak through a truly universal language.

Ibrahim Ballo at the Mucem in Marseille as part of Mossi Traoré, la mode aussi

  • News

From May 20 to November 16, 2026, the Mucem – Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations in Marseille presents a major exhibition dedicated to Mossi Traoré, one of the most compelling voices in the contemporary French creative landscape. Titled Mossi Traoré, la mode aussi (Mossi Traoré, Fashion Too), the exhibition explores the designer’s practice through a perspective that extends beyond the conventional boundaries of fashion, bringing together craftsmanship, popular culture, living heritage, sustainability, and contemporary creation. It is within this broader framework that the work of Malian artist Ibrahim Ballo finds a particularly meaningful place.
