Magnus Resch

‘Magnus, what art should I buy? Where do I start?’ These questions come my way nearly every day. In response, I've compiled my answers into my latest book, HOW TO COLLECT ART. I have poured 20 years of art world experience into this to answer one simple question: what's the smartest way to collect art? Early reviewers have dubbed HOW TO COLLECT ART "an essential handbook" (@CNN) and the "definitive guide to the art market and collecting in the 21st century" (@papermagazine). I firmly believe that anyone considering buying art should explore this book. It also includes advice from the world’s leading art market experts. Think about HOW TO COLLECT ART as art advisor in your pocket. It’s available now. amazon.com/How-Collect-Ar… @ArtOnBlockchain @charliejarvisny @jaclynlavy @pablorfraile @andreabonac @kukulabanze @proof_xyz @eli_schein @simcosclub @DeeZe @justinaversano @kennyschac

@MagnusResch is a genius

Excited to teach my @HarvardHBS case on art market transparency! Solving fraud, lack of buyers, high transaction costs & illiquidity is key. AI, NFTs & blockchain will drive growth, making the market 3x bigger. New buyers & smarter tools will shape a more open, accessible future.

Wrote this op-ed for @RobbReport. I explore how the $73T generational wealth transfer will reshape the art market-amid an art surplus, shrinking buyer pools & shifting tastes. But collecting isn’t just about returns-it’s about connection, support, meaning. shorturl.at/uJYyt

@HazeusPrime Email, not DM or Insta request. So send me an email with your work. Curious to see it. Good luck with the first sale!

@MagnusResch Hi Magnus, you said you would reply to every DM. I'd love you to see my artworks. I'm a digital artist. Looking forward to my first sales. Hoping you drop a reply. Thanks

nytimes.com/2024/11/20/art… The price of an artwork isn’t based on its complexity or originality but on the artist’s network. Cattelan, backed by Gagosian and top museums, always sells in the millions. Sotheby’s marketing hype drove this price—it’s never just about the work itself.

I wrote this op-ed for @artnews about how @friezeofficial and @ArtBasel are strangling galleries. While I respect the brands their hard working teams have built, I believe they are currently doing more harm than good for small and mid-size galleries. artnews.com/art-news/opini…

In his class Entrepreneurship in the Art Market, Prof. @MagnusResch explores the shifting role of art world gatekeepers as more artists go independent. Magnus invites leading #art experts like Marc Glimcher, Max Teicher, and CJ Hendry to chat with students about the industry.

"Buy what you like" - @MagnusResch 🫳 🎤

Spoke to my friends from @proof_xyz and @yugalabs with @eli_schein and @pablorfraile about blockchain and art. Also introduced @SarahMeyohas new work and other pieces I'm currently interested in.

For years, tech platforms have been pining to disrupt the art market with A.I. or blockchain or a jazzy new platform. Puck’s Marion Maneker (@artmarket) offers a low-fi tech solution, developed during a chat with Yale professor @MagnusResch puck.news/the-art-market…

Got a similar impression? @the_gray_market @KellyCrowWSJ @ZacharyHSmall @MarionManeker @DanielCassady @mgerlis @aservais1 @juddtully

While traveling through Europe, I spoke with several gallerists. It appears that European galleries are struggling severely. Based on my conversations: Alpha galleries' revenue down 20%, Beta galleries by 50%, the rest by 70%. This aligns with auction houses, which are down 30%.

Spoke to the @nytimes while @ArtBasel about the current state of the art market: "The mega-galleries won’t be hit so hard by what’s happening. The avenue of the stars is always crowded." nytimes.com/2024/06/12/art…

Speaking @artfortomorrow in Venice about the current state of the art market - with Thaddaeus Ropac and Victoria Siddall, moderated by @nytimes.

Viele @Tiefseher-Follower schätzen es richtig ein: Wenn ich ein beliebiges Kunstwerk in der Galerie kaufe, ist es am wahrscheinlichsten, dass der Marktwert des Œuvres in 10 Jahren 0 sein wird. Für 99% aller Werke gibt es keinen Markt. Quelle: SMART KUNST KAUFEN by @MagnusResch

Auch ich lese immer von "neuen" Auktionsrekorden und Kunstwerken, die sich im Preis vervielfacht haben. Doch die Realität in der Breite des Kunstmarkts scheint eine andere zu sein: Jedenfalls waren die Gesamtumsätze 2023 mit rund 65 Mrd. Dollar kaum höher als 2011 cc @MagnusResch

@jchatterleyCNN Thanks for having me on the show!

“99% of all art doesn’t return any money… consider it an investment in yourself, in a gallery & an artist.” An ‘artful’ discussion with @magnusResch, author of “How to Collect Art” discussing how the market works, the best way to buy & much more.
