Webinar | 2021: Trends in the Art Market

    | June 18, 2021

    The art market is proof of the wide-reaching impact of COVID-19. Like many other industries, the art industry has had to adapt and adjust — not just to conditions during the pandemic, but to the new realities of life in a post-COVID world as well.

     

    On June 17th, Telemus Financial Life Advisor Tom Kessel held a webinar with Pamela Iacobelli and Molly Gron of Hindman Auctions, an internationally-recognized fine art auction house, to discuss the dramatic shift the art world has undergone since the pandemic hit last year. Specifically, we covered:

    • What the art market looked like before COVID — and how the pandemic changed everything
    • How the Biden administration’s proposed tax changes could affect the art market
    • The impact of the cryptocurrency/NFT boom on art trends
    • What art collectors should be doing to protect their collectible items
