Incanti Newsletter Returns: Art Market Analysis by Artribune
On Wednesday, September 3, Incanti, an Italian newsletter dedicated to the art market, will resume publication. Launched in March 2023 and curated by Cristina Masturzo, it provides free weekly insights into the art sector. Originally aimed at auction houses, galleries, and banks, its readership has expanded tenfold over two and a half years. The newsletter examines investment strategies and trends during an economic downturn. The most recent edition reports on significant gallery closures, such as Blum and Clearing, and notes the increasing costs impacting art fairs. Jeff Koons is set to return to Larry Gagosian, while Hauser & Wirth partners with Société. Phillips has introduced Priority Bidding, and Sotheby's is making its debut in Abu Dhabi. Italy's tax reform has lowered VAT on art, leading to new galleries like Thaddaeus Ropac opening in Milan.
