Welcome back to Sunday Gray, where I corral a pack of recommendations spanning exhibitions, podcasts, articles, and more, with thoughts on what makes each one matter to the current state of art, business, or both.

In this weekend’s newsletter, you’ll find:

  • An inventive found object sculpture show in New York

  • A giant ‘What if?’ in the history of arts philanthropy

  • A trio of articles covering a silver-streaked demographic spending trend, a global luxury conglomerate’s overly(?) optimistic market reception, and a mega-influencer’s money-making AI clone

If any of that sounds interesting—or if you just want to support The Gray Market’s ongoing one-man mission to explore where the art business is headed and why—you can subscribe or upgrade your membership using the button below. Paid subscribers will receive all future editions of the weekend wrap, access to the full Substack archive (free posts are paywalled after six months), and much more. And if you’re already a paid subscriber, thank you.
