The Gray Market Weekend Wrap #6

Featuring notes from the beachy trenches and sculptural creatures of the sky

Welcome back to The Gray Market’s weekend wrap, where I serve up a charcuterie tray of insider tidbits alongside recommendations for exhibitions, podcasts, articles and other media relevant to the state of art and business.

In this post-Art Basel Miami Beach edition, you’ll find:

• A bewitching museum show of sci-fi sculpture

• The five most interesting things I learned on the ground in Miami

• A peek into the down-to-earth business of creating a land art classic

If any of that sounds interesting—or if you just want to support The Gray Market in its ongoing 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 two weeks), and much more. And if you’re already a paid subscriber, thank you.

One podcast worth listening to

Art world microphone kings Nate Freeman and Benjamin Godsill invited me on Nota Bene this week to talk about the origin story of TGM, the mood in Miami, the trouble with art market media, and much more. You can find the episode on Apple, Spotify, and pretty much everywhere else you might source a pod in 2024. Listen, download, like, and subscribe if you’re into it.
