Are you seeing new art hanging from the walls of your colleague's home office? You're not alone! Despite the grim and well-documented realities of COVID-19's impact on the arts and culture sector, art sales are on the rise, especially among millennials. Whether looking to invest in a passion, support a favorite artist or bring a fresh perspective to the office, collectors are finding plenty of reasons to buy.
What inspired this shift and where are the art and auction markets headed? How has the prevalence of e-commerce during the pandemic impacted access to fine art?
Join us and hear from Ed Beardsley, Vice President and Managing Director, Fine & Decorative Arts at Heritage Auctions, on the state of the arts market in 2021.
At Heritage Auctions, Ed is focused on the Fine & Decorative Arts department, which covers 15 categories including Silver, Art Glass, American & Urban Art, among others. He also oversees Nature & Science, Trusts & Estates, and Appraisal Services. Ed was actively involved in Heritage’s expansion to regional offices in New York, Beverly Hills, San Francisco, and Chicago. Heritage also has offices in Hong Kong, London, and Europe. Ed enjoys being part of one of the industry’s fastest expanding auction houses.
