In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Zachary Small, culture reporter covering art for The New York Times, and Tim Schneider, founder of The Gray Market and a freelance journalist, to break down New York’s May auctions and what they reveal about the current state of the art market. While the material this season may have been mixed, the auctions offered rare transparency into buyer behavior, pricing, and market sentiment at a time of uncertainty. Adam, Zachary, and Tim explore how collectors are becoming more selective, why certain artists outperformed expectations, and how guarantees shaped many of the results. They also discuss why this moment may offer smart buying opportunities for those with conviction, and what the sales signal as we head into Art Basel and the second half of the year.
