dynamo room uffner lius frieze wet paint 2642476

Artnet News's 'Wet Paint' gossip column reports from Frieze Week in New York, noting a prevailing cultural pessimism fueled by essays on the death of culture and the impact of the second Trump administration. Amidst this, Jeff Koons's 'Hulk Elvis' sculptures at Gagosian's Frieze booth (priced at $3 million each, with one sold) offered a perverse relief. The column also highlights the second edition of the Esther art fair at the Estonian House, described as an 'aura fair' prioritizing community and a welcoming environment over strict commercial focus, contrasting with the more predictable Frieze fair.

Art market 2026 predictions: underwhelming rebound and another Frieze fair

The article presents five predictions for the art market in 2026, following a relatively improved but still cautious end to 2025. Key forecasts include a subdued market rebound, a shift toward smaller and cheaper artworks, the continued expansion of Frieze fairs (possibly into India), a consolidating Art Basel, and a resurgence of London's art-world clout. The predictions are informed by trends such as declining demand for art as investment, gallery closures and geographic pruning, and the thematic direction of the 2026 Venice Biennale, curated by the late Koyo Kouoh under the title "In Minor Keys."
