Artnet News published a roundup of the top five episodes of its podcast 'Art Market Minute' from 2025, hosted by Margaret Carrigan. The episodes cover key industry topics: whether artists still need galleries, how to build professional relationships in the art world, the rising market value of Jack Whitten's work, the impact of AI on the art market, and the wave of high-profile gallery closures reshaping the trade.
