The 23rd edition of Frieze London opens next Wednesday with its VIP preview in Regent's Park, featuring 168 galleries from 43 countries. The fair arrives amid a subdued art market, with dealers favoring conservative, recognizable works by established names rather than betting on younger artists. Notable presentations include Modern Art showing Sanya Kantarovsky's stoneware sculptures, Lehmann Maupin presenting Do Ho Suh's translucent installations, and Gagosian featuring Lauren Halsey's sculptural tribute to South Central Los Angeles. Hauser & Wirth highlights rising star George Rouy alongside other artists, while White Cube focuses on the natural world with works by Marguerite Humeau, Howardena Pindell, and Sara Flores.

A Reuters investigative report has claimed to unmask the anonymous street artist Banksy, identifying him as Robin Gunningham (who later changed his name to David Jones). The report justifies the disclosure by citing public interest in how the artist has monetized his mystique and details the inner workings of his professional circle. Meanwhile, the art world faces several institutional shifts, including the resignation of Richard Grenell from the Kennedy Center amid a legal battle over renovations, and calls for the resignation of Italy’s Venice Biennale representative over Russia's potential return to the exhibition.

stop making sense 2025 art market analysis 1234767291

The article analyzes the chaotic and contradictory state of the global art market in 2025, a year marked by extreme volatility following President Donald Trump's return to office. Key events include strong sales at Frieze Los Angeles in February, a record $13.8 million sale of a painting by M.F. Husain at Christie's, and a sharp downturn after Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on major trading partners. Major auctions in May fell far short of expectations, with only $837.5 million hammered against estimates of up to $1.6 billion. Meanwhile, Art Basel expanded with a new Qatar fair, but sales at Art Basel Switzerland dropped over 35% from 2024. The year also saw a wave of gallery closures, including the sunsetting of Blum & Poe.

France's government has introduced a bill aimed at accelerating the return of artworks looted during the colonial era to their countries of origin, covering items acquired through theft, looting, or forced transfers between 1815 and 1972. The legislation, set for Senate debate in September, seeks to bypass current French laws that have slowed restitution processes. Separately, a new book by Gareth Harris titled 'Towards the Ethical Art Museum' argues that museum ethics codes are often insufficient and calls for a shift in mindset around restitution and provenance.

The Marcel Duchamps That Got Away: On Collecting His Work and the Sprawling MoMA Show

The article recounts the author's personal experience as a collector who passed up the opportunity to buy a complete set of Marcel Duchamp's readymades at a 2002 Phillips de Pury and Luxembourg auction. The set, editioned by dealer Arturo Schwartz in 1964, included iconic works like *Fountain* and *Bicycle Wheel*, but the sale was a financial failure, with many pieces bought-in or selling for far below expectations. The author later acquired some of the unsold works privately. The piece is framed around the concurrent Duchamp exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and Gagosian.
