In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with Kabir Jhala, Art Market Editor at The Art Newspaper, to recap the June auctions in London. Once a major fixture on the art market calendar, these sales have seen their significance decline in recent years as auction houses scale back their offerings and experiment with different strategies. Adam and Kabir discuss what’s behind this shift, how the houses approached this season, and why sales totals have dropped so dramatically. They also examine how the auction results compared with the mood at Art Basel, highlight standout lots from the sales, and consider what these auctions signal about the state of the market as we head into the summer break and look ahead to the autumn season.
