art market reporting doom coverage

Artnet News released its mid-year intelligence report on the art market, led by Katya Kazakina's analysis titled “The Storm Hits the Art Market: Who’s Getting Swept Away?” The article cites major gallery closures including Blum, Venus Over Manhattan, and Kasmin, and quotes a collector warning that “blood will flow in the streets” before the market recalibrates. Kenny Schachter, an artist, dealer, and Artnet columnist, publicly criticized the coverage on Instagram, calling it alarmist and arguing that the market is “fucking fine.” The exchange has sparked a debate about the fairness and responsibility of art-market reporting.

Comment | 'Artnet-Artsy merger: a Bloomberg for art?'

Artnet and Artsy have officially merged under private equity firm Beowolff Capital, founded by former Goldman Sachs trader Andrew Wolff. The deal, which took Artnet private, has already led to layoffs at both companies—including at least seven staff members from Artnet News—and the closure of Artnet's Berlin office. Jeffrey Yin, CEO of Artsy, will lead the combined entity. The merger aims to combine Artnet's vast database of 18 million auction results with Artsy's primary market gallery network to create a seamless user experience for discovering, researching, and buying art.
