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 […]

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. No psychic undressing. Just something light. Something gentle. Something like… a person emerging from five days in darkness, peeling off a blackout mask, whispering, “the light […]

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.

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 […]

A Story by Sarah Ryan – a psychic blueprint of the places, images, and choices that shaped New Blood Art before it had a name.

Dispatches from the Field
– writing from inside the gallery rebuild – where business, clarity, and voice meet. These are not newsletters. They’re real-time reflections: quietly sharp, often sideways, always authored.
