Our two-part roundtable webinar series on the future of the global art market, features guests from Hauser & Wirth, HMRC, Demif Gallery and The Society of London Art Dealers.

Presented by Gareth Fletcher of Sotheby’s Institute of Art, the series explores change and transformation in the art market, from new technologies, ways of viewing and buying art, and market supervision, to digital art crime, the rise of African artists, and the illicit trade in art and antiquities.

In Part 1, Markets and Makers, Edouard Ndeke of the Demif Gallery and Christopher Battiscombe CMG of The Society of London Art Dealers discuss disruption in the art market and what this means for those who make, view, buy and sell art. With e-commerce, digital and online reshaping the art world, where will the pieces land?

Discussion Topics

• Disruptive technologies
• New modes of viewing and buying art: the end of the physical art gallery
• The headwinds of transparency and inclusivity in the art world
• The rise of African artists and their collectors
