kenny schachter 2026 predictions van gogh private sale 2734822

Kenny Schachter offers his predictions for the art world in 2026, set against a backdrop of political chaos and rapid AI development. He forecasts only a marginal uptick in global art sales, which he estimates will exceed $57.5 billion, and warns that luxury goods—bags, watches, fossils—are increasingly encroaching on art fairs, auctions, and exhibitions. Schachter criticizes Sotheby's for blurring the lines between auction house, museum, and gallery, citing its traveling "Icon" show as a spectacle of price tags rather than art scholarship.

The sale, taking place in the exclusive playground of the ultra-wealthy, features works by artists such as Basquiat and Richter, and is seen as a barometer for the current state of the art market amid economic uncertainty.
