Artist in Focus: Louis Pohl Koseda. Constructing the City as Memory.

British artist Louis Pohl Koseda is gaining attention for his intricate works that blend drawing, painting, and architectural theory to explore the city as a psychological structure. His practice, which he terms 'metafictionism,' utilizes fine-line drawing to create layered compositions where figures navigate unstable, theatrical urban environments. Influenced by his upbringing in an East London Hare Krishna community, Koseda’s work focuses on how belief systems and social fabrics are mapped onto the physical and imagined spaces of the city.

The article features an interview with Angolan artist Sandra Poulson about her first museum exhibition, 'Este quarto parece uma República! (This bedroom looks like a republic!)', on view at MoMA PS1 in Queens until October 6. The exhibition, originally commissioned by Jahmek Contemporary Art in Luanda and shown at Sadie Coles HQ during Condo London 2025, uses wood and found furniture to explore how symbols in everyday objects reflect postcolonial legacies, global trade, and power structures. Poulson discusses her father's Portuguese phrase that inspired the title, the material history of wood from Dutch colonies, and the use of institutional logos on T-shirts in Angola as a form of propaganda.

Picasso or Bitcoin? How art’s status is changing among the super-rich

Christie's and Sotheby's reported nearly flat first-half 2025 sales of $2.1bn and $2.2bn respectively, with Christie's 20th/21st-century art sales down 2% but luxury up 29%. The Mei Moses Art Index shows over 50% of auction lots sold at negative compound annual returns, which analyst Michael Moses calls 'the worst overall financial performance in the 21st century.' Meanwhile, Bitcoin, gold, and stocks have significantly outperformed art, with BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF alone attracting $84bn—far exceeding the global art market's total value. A record $43.9m Canaletto sale to a Bezos-linked buyer underscores that top-tier works still command attention, but the broader trend suggests wealthy investors are prioritizing financial returns over art as a status symbol.
