Our May newsletter surveys a vibrant moment in the global art market — from Christie’s spring auctions featuring Monet, Basquiat, and Mondrian, to Ari Emanuel’s landmark $200 million acquisition of Frieze.
As Frieze Week energizes New York with 18 must-see exhibitions, Barbara Gladstone’s personal collection heads to Sotheby’s, and Paris Gallery Weekend returns with over 70 participating galleries. Across continents, the season celebrates both legacy and renewal — where blue-chip icons meet new voices shaping the future of contemporary art.
