EDITOR’S LETTER
Welcome to The Wick
Dear All,
The benefits of a trip to Yorkshire Sculpture Park are multiplying as Hauser & Wirth’s Art Farm announces its plans to open a residential Groucho Club at Bretton Hall, a former arts education facility that sits within the grounds. The hall will be converted into a club and hotel with 60 rooms. Soho House is also moving north and will open an outpost in Manchester.
Crunching data and figures, the UBS / Art Basel Art Market report reveals art sales dropped by 4% last year. Economist Clare McAndrew, who authored the study, attributed the decline to factors including high interest rates, inflationary pressures, and geopolitical instability, all of which contributed to a slowdown in sales in 2023 to nearly $65 bn. The future could be rocky, according to dealers, with political uncertainty and rising costs of fairs and client relationships, but here’s hoping the creative world comes together to buck the trend…
All my best wishes,
Katy
