arttactic art market outlook 2026 1234770801

ArtTactic's Global Art Market Outlook report indicates that the art market is entering 2026 with renewed optimism, with over half of participants expecting growth.

Confidence is strongest at the top (works over $1 million) and bottom (under $50,000) of the market, while the mid-market remains squeezed. Modern and Post-War art lead the rebound, with painting dominating over NFTs and AI art.

Researchers have discovered a hand stencil in a cave on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi that dates to 67,800 years ago, making it the oldest known rock art in the world.

The discovery was made by a team from Griffith University in Australia, Indonesian archaeological organizations, and the National Research and Innovation Agency, who have been documenting cave art sites in the region since 2019.

material art fair mexico city venue change stranger things 1234767738

Feria Material, a satellite art fair to Mexico City's Zona Maco, is moving its venue just six weeks before its February 5–8 edition. The fair will relocate from Expo Reforma to Maravilla Studios, a renovated historic factory in Colonia Atlampa, because Expo Reforma is hosting "Stranger Things: The Experience," a Netflix immersive activation, through the end of February. Material cofounder Brett W. Schultz told ARTnews that the fair exhausted all options to stay at Expo Reforma but faced limited venue options and skyrocketing rental prices in Mexico City. Maravilla Studios offered a similar price and features a single-level layout with high ceilings, polished concrete floors, and outdoor spaces, which the fair's production team sees as an improvement over the previous two-floor, carpeted venue.

pompeii multilevel buildings digital reconstructions 1234758104

A new study published in the Pompeii Archaeological Park's online journal reveals that the ancient Roman city featured multilevel buildings far more impressive than previously understood. Using digital technology, the Pompeii Reset project—a collaboration between the Pompeii Archaeological Park and Humboldt University of Berlin—created 3D reconstructions of structures encased in ash during the 79 CE eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The case study focused on the House of Thiasus in Regio IX, where a 39-foot-tall tower with two levels, including a dining room with city views, was reconstructed. Researchers employed laser scanners, structured-light scanning, and photography to build digital models, then virtually added missing architectural elements like staircases and windows, testing them for structural plausibility.

museum worker satisfaction 2025 report 1234759334

A new survey by Museums Moving Forward (MMF), the 2025 Report on Workplace Equity and Organizational Culture in U.S. Art Museums, finds that employees at smaller U.S. museums report higher job satisfaction than those at major institutions, despite persistent issues of low pay, burnout, and inequity. The report surveyed over 3,100 staff across 91 institutions, nearly double the number in MMF's 2023 study, and notes a sharp rise in union organizing, with 55% of art museum unions formed in the last five years. Non-union staff earn about 78% of unionized counterparts, though unionized workers report higher dissatisfaction. Smaller museums (budgets under $15 million) outperformed larger ones on well-being measures, suggesting workplace culture and agency matter more than pay.

romanesque murals return sijena monastery court ruling 1234747979

Spain's Supreme Court has ruled that 13th-century Romanesque murals removed from the Sijena Monastery during the Spanish Civil War must be returned to their original home in Aragon. The artworks have been housed at the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC) since 1936, after a fire gutted the monastery's chapter house. The ruling dismisses previous agreements that Catalan authorities claimed legitimized their custody, finding that the Sijena religious order never ceded ownership. The decision caps over a decade of legal battles and jurisdictional disputes between Aragon and Catalonia.
