EDITOR’S LETTER
Welcome to The Wick
Dear All,
Listen up art market – Artnet biannual report for 2025 highlights pivotal changes in the market. In her cover story, Artnet News senior reporter Katya Kazakina explores a generational turning point, with younger buyers now driving demand. Luxury, pop culture, and digital engagement are shaping collecting habits, forcing the industry to rethink exclusivity and adapt to new values.
In good news for dealers, the UK has extended the tax-free import period for art and antiques. In a move expected to boost the British art market, the UK Treasury has extended the period of free import duties to four years. This week has seen the art world in a busy whirl of activity – from a packed AWITA x Artnet morning at Deutsche Bank to a rotating dinner at Collector Homes in the Serpentine Mystery Nights, seeing the institution raising vital funds for innovative programming. And speaking of the Serpentine why not take a Springtime meander to the stunning Arpita Singh show. It is now officially Springtime after all – Happy Nowruz.
Wishing you all a happy weekend
All the best from me and The Wick Family,
Katy
