In this week’s episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Tim Schneider, founder of The Gray Market. The conversation looks back at how Tim’s 2025 art market predictions played out before turning to his newly released forecasts for 2026, including the persistence of what Tim calls “art market dysmorphia” as galleries simultaneously expand and contract, and why auction houses may generate far more revenue from categories like wine and spirits than from young contemporary art. Adam and Tim also discuss whether brands like Frieze or Art Basel could extend beyond the fair model into other sectors, as well as the growing possibility of US museums financially guaranteeing works at auction. The episode concludes with Adam and Tim each sharing a special ArtTactic Podcast exclusive prediction for the art market in 2026.

Inside the Fourth Edition of Frieze Seoul with Andy St Louis
While much of the Western art world was focused on the Armory Show, all eyes in Asia turned to Seoul, where Frieze Seoul returned for its fourth edition. With the caliber of galleries participating, many now see it as a fair that rivals, and perhaps even surpasses, the Armory in importance. To unpack this year’s edition, host Adam Green is joined by Andy St. Louis, a Seoul-based art critic, curator, and the newly appointed director of Frieze House Seoul. We discuss how Frieze Seoul has positioned itself within the Korean art market, how the gallery mix has evolved since its debut, and what the atmosphere was like at this year’s fair. Andy also shares insights on the most noteworthy sales and offers his perspective on what the next chapter could look like for Frieze Seoul as it solidifies its place on the global art calendar.
