Every so often, I go rooting through the old spreadsheets. Quiet archaeology. To see who bought what, when, and whether it’s time to reconnect. I like keeping a feel for it – for the rhythm of a collector’s eye over time. What they were drawn to, what they paired and grouped together, what they circled […]

This time of year has always marked the start of something at New Blood Art. It’s when I begin planning the degree show tour – train routes, flights, car journeys. Sometimes 40, even 50 shows in just a few weeks. It’s intense, and a little bit mad, but it matters. Because that effort – that […]

I’m writing a piece for MoneyWeek, for a collecting supplement on alternative investment. It’s a deep dive into how the art market has moved this past year. I’ll share it when it lands. This is something else. Not a summary or a preview. Just a few things worth noticing. The UBS/Art Basel report arrived, full of […]

Easter Saturday Edition (No. Not a Newsletter. Definitely Not a Backstory.) ⸻ I lost a few followers yesterday, so I thought I’d better tread carefully today. No big statements.

It’s always a quiet relief when spring arrives, isn’t it? A kind of reassurance. The evidence of life returns – though we’d seen no sign of it for months. No proof, no promise. And yet, it was there all along. Rooted. Waiting. Responding not to pressure but to the right conditions. There’s something quietly psychoanalytic […]

Ed Saye has been quietly held in our Masters section for some time. He’s one of those artists you look at and think: it’s only a matter of when. The depth is there, the coherence, the unmistakable hand. Serious collectors have noticed. The work has always had gravity, what’s shifting now is the light around […]

Errol Theunissen, an artist whose work sits at a powerful juncture. His upcoming solo show at Texture, Manchester (opening May 30th) is one of three exhibitions launching the new space. It follows two significant group shows at BSMT Space in London: Ascension and Vignettes: Interpreting Nostalgia. A trajectory is forming, and his work is about […]

Dispatches from the Field
