It hopes its listeners can avoid the risks when stepping into the world of art investment!
Unique Perspectives from Art.Market
The preference for art, just like that for food and music, is pretty subjective. Then what should people do if they want to learn about this industry objectively? Art.Market knows that even with data analysis from a market point of view, it provides only a “relatively objective” interpretation. But, compared to profound artistic quality or complicated historical interpretation, the actual figures of trades and states of delivery provide “relatively reliable” information. It is highly challenging to be completely objective. After all, people are at any point subjective.

Art.Market produces a huge variety of content, including introductions to individual artists, recent issues, and the latest information on the art market. Art.Market offers a comprehensive introduction of the artwork marketplace to its listeners.
The Most Expensive Artist in Japan: Nara Yoshitomo
In one of the episodes, Art.Market introduced an artist, Nara Yoshitomo, to its listeners, including his journey growing up and how he learned art. Besides his background, Art.Market also analyzed the core aspects of his artworks, including the meaning of children presented in his artworks. This episode also mentioned how he became acquainted with Tomio Koyama, a legendary gallery manager, and his artist journey which was completely different from Takashi Murakami’s.
In the later part of the episode, Yu-Chen talked about the artworks of Nara Yoshitomo. The most and the third most expensive artwork in Japan is created by Nara. Just like many other artists, Nara releases his own figures as well. When it comes to merchandise, there are also forgeries in the market; therefore, Yu-Chen reminded his listeners of this problem.

Trace Back to the Source: Evidentiary Documents of Artworks
When Art.Market talked about the collection records, it mentioned that Robert Tsao, a notable Taiwanese art collector, shared his three principles of antique collection: authenticity, delicateness, and scarcity. Moreover, Art.Market shared that authorities on porcelain would definitely inquire about the record of collection when they appraise or purchase artwork. If an artwork comes out of nowhere and barely has a record of collection, even the most experienced collector can’t ensure the authenticity of the work. The counterfeiting skills are so advanced today that records of the collection have become absolutely important.

In the podcast, Patrick shared many of his experiences, including motivation to his career in the industry, the changes in the Taiwanese art market, and his opinions on the marketplace for works of art.
