What to read after PRICE WARS?

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The enormously growing cost for galleries is bringing variables for Art Fairs running. Mega-galleries have offices worldwide; they may have less reliance upon Art Fairs when conducting sales. But for regional galleries of mid-large scale, it will cost a fortune to participate just for three or four Fairs a year. In order to fine a solution, we investigate the performance of ART COLOGNE and present their Art Director, Daniel Hug, as ART FIGURE of the Year, where he does convey excellent ideas and strategies in this interview for both gallery runners and Art Fairs organizers.

Chapter One Price Wars of Capital Driven is dealing the subject of rapid development of art price. There are several facets concerning price of art: regulations on HNWIs’ wealth management, currencies issues, Europe-centralism fact existed long in Art History. It takes much longer time for art than economy to well develop. From now on till the near future, the global art market would become more finance-particularity deployed, the phenomena of capital-driven in art market will be conceivably going on.

Chapter Two C.Y. Vincent Wu brought a keen discussion over Fintech and Art Investment entitled with One Deliberation Upon How Financial Technology May Facilitate Art Investment. This essay is a key to unlock Art Financial Inclusion, where the Author has long been commissioned to do feasibility study and Operation-Model-Design for Banks and Banking System. In the end, the Author suggested that Museums should take the lead in a new business model; this conclusion demonstrates excellent capacity of his argument.

While Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is quietly nibbling the territory of traditional banks in capital market, we need Chapter Three The Emerging Development of Fintech Industry in Taiwan authored by Kunchou Tsai Esq. to not only tell us the newest sandbox experiment worldwide but also a close-up on regulation trend constituted by sovereign governments. 

Timeless Appeal Chapter Four is one delicate study on Ru Ware discovering its artistic value and market significance. Finally ANF presents GAZE OF THE DIVINE as 2018 Cover Story.
