Artsy VP Galleries & Fairs Alexander Forbes interviews for ARTnews’s Art Basel report

ARTnews

“‘Overall, most galleries are better off today than they were in 2019,’ Alex Forbes, the vice-president of galleries and fairs at Artsy, told ARTnews, referring to the last pre-pandemic fair. ‘It’s always important for folks to zoom out and take in the longer trend, rather than just focusing on year to year. In my view the art market in particular tends to respond to uncertainty more so than, necessarily, the ups and downs of the S& P 500.’

“The European Central Bank’s decision to cut interest rates last week, offers some of that needed sense of stability, according to Forbes. ‘I’m optimistic in the long run, particularly as we’re coming out of maybe the period of peak anxiety around possible runaway inflation,’ he said.”
