Apologia

Sorry for the lack of updates, it’s been a busy month.  Between traveling and dissertating (trust me, when you spend every day working on a dissertation, ‘dissertating’ becomes a word), there hasn’t been much time for the blog.  Also, it is August, so exciting news stories in the art market are much slower.  Hopefully I will conquer the beast soon and be able to return to more regular updates (I’m going to try for weekly updates during September, but no promises).  Until then, keep in touch with me at artmarketmistress [at] gmail.com.

ARTSingapore 2008

ARTSingapore keeps updating their exhibitor list and it looks like it’s going to be a really exciting fair.  With more than 100 galleries from 15 countries, it really is going to be a pan-Asian contemporary art delight.  So far they have 13 Japanese galleries, which is really great news for the Japanese market.  Getting international exposure and showing off what great talent there is in Japan will definitely help the evolution of the market.

I’m also excited to see some Thai galleries,  such as the Chiang Mai based La Luna, on the list.  Having done some work on the Southeast Asian market, it’s also good to see some of these galleries looking to the international stage.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how the fair goes this year.
