Art Basel Paris 2024: A Beacon of Success in the Art Market This year's Art Basel Paris has been a showcase of immense talent and high-value sales. Among the highlights: - Julie Mehretu's "Insile" sold for $9.5 million by White Cube. - Hauser & Wirth's Kazimir Malevich piece, priced significantly higher, attracted much attention. In the fast-evolving world of alternative assets, investing in art has proven to be a rewarding strategy. High-profile events like Art Basel Paris not only highlight the vibrancy of the art market but also underscore the potential for significant returns on investment. As art collectors and enthusiasts flock to fairs and galleries, they recognize the unique value and cultural significance that art brings to their portfolios. Diversifying investments with art can yield impressive returns, akin to traditional asset classes. Art's tangible nature, historical value, and the emotional connection it fosters make it a compelling choice for investors looking for both aesthetic pleasure and financial growth. #ArtBaselParis2024 #ArtMarket #AlternativeInvestments #JulieMehretu #KazimirMalevich #InvestmentStrategy #ArtCollector #CulturalInvestment #HighValueArt #DiversifyYourPortfolio #timaxart

Friendships and fine art: Both are investments worth making. Last week, Art Basel Paris took center stage, marking a significant moment for the global art world. 195 galleries from 42 countries, reaffirmed the significance of art collecting and gathered together to share the value of creativity and culture. 🟧 Art has always been more than an investment— it's a lasting connection to history and future generations. 🟧 Collecting art isn't just about owning beautiful objects. It’s about preserving stories and investing in culture that transcends time. 🟧 As gallery owners emphasized, Paris is now the epicenter of these meaningful exchanges, further highlighting art's role in maintaining cultural pulse and relevance. Each piece tells a story, adding depth to our lives. 🟧 Whether you collect as an investor or out of passion, the value is undeniable. It's not just about financial growth. It’s about preserving something meaningful for the next generation. 🟧 Similarly, children's books create lasting cultural touchpoints. My book, “The Secret to Belonging: A Harmony Heroes Adventure” offers young readers a message of friendship, belonging, and harmony… …values that resonate as deeply as art in today’s interconnected world. 🟧 As the art world shifts toward deeper connections and cultural understanding, now is the perfect time to explore how collecting art, like cultivating friendships, creates lasting value. 🟧 Whether it's through a painting or the story of a friendship, art and community belong at the center of our lives. 🟧 What creates lasting value for you? #ArtBaselParis #ArtCollectors #TheSecretToBelonging #BuildingConnections #ArtAndCulture 👉 Click Kandis D. to connect and follow my content.👌 👉 Order my new book on Amazon here: https://t.ly/7JS21 👌 👉 Subscribe to our monthly newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/ekjY27_V 👌 👉 Are you in a captivating conversation?

Video component of my work AIDA & CLONES Co for Salon Des Étrangers, 60th Biennale Di Venezia. Salon Des Etrangers is a salon-type exhibition devised for the historic 60th Biennale Di Venezia. Inspired by Albert Camus’s classic The Outsider, this exhibition features works of 100 international artists. Surveyed and directed by Jeffro Dziac, Outsiders Lounge is a late Venetian meeting point for ultra-modern existentialists and surrealists to exhibit, debate, perform and observe dramas of current life. With uniform wall works set at A4 size and a 23 second video, like a set of imaginary cards, this exhibition will highlight the absurd and uncanny times we currently inhabit whilst reflecting on the themes of identity, nostalgia, artifice and strangeness in many different forms and media. My bi-componental work for this exhibition continues a series of reflections on the contemporary challenges we all face and the potential outcomes for our future. The artwork mirrors the creeping homogeneity that threatens individuality — where people, once driven by distinct desires, passions, and flaws, now turn to AI at every juncture, becoming mere replicas of one another. The piece poses a crucial question: Will we passively succumb to the absurdity of this situation, walking toward the death of human agency and creativity? Or will we intentionally choose to resist it and preserve our essence as human beings?

Art is inclusivity, art is exclusivity, so is contemporary art akin to conning your senses albeit temporarily? 🤔😁#ContemporaryArt #InclusivityInArt #ExclusivityInArt #ArtisticPerspective #SensoryExperience #ArtisticReflections #ThoughtProvokingArt #ArtisticExpression #ContemporaryThoughts #ArtisticJourney

Of course this art is crazy. What art is not crazy? When it's not crazy it's not art. Jean Dubuffet Obviously by 1945 the world was also crazy and there were many who questioned the processes and genealogies of creators authenticated as artists.  If we listen to Dubuffet, as to anyone else who has arguments to define concepts based on experiences and observations, we arrive at one of the possible questions, we can all be creators of art: Social art, urban art in the street or in galleries?  Where to find it? Although perhaps the question is where we can experience the sensation/reflection/experience that art awakens in us. As a game for the intellect, for our own existence... we keep asking ourselves and questioning the evolution or involution that the manifestations (with the tools incorporated in this era, pose us). #artbrut #landart #urbanart https://lnkd.in/ditTEWiB and if you have time check this (https://lnkd.in/d9rnqXkM)

The Resurgence of Figurative Art: A Spotlight on the Salon de Refusées The Salon de Refusées exhibition in Berlin is a resonant call for the recognition of art's pivotal role in contemporary discourse. Echoing the revolutionary spirit of the historic 1863 Parisian Salon des Refusés, the showcase breathes life into works once shunned by established art circles. Figurative art, one of the heartbeats of this exhibition, stands testament to the human - and in this case female - form's power and the stories it tells. Each brushstroke and contour by artists such as Julia Apostolidou, Laura Aranda, Alice Cuenot, cornelia es said, Elina Evstig, Maja Neuhaus, Sara Owusu-Ansah, Lena Snow, Leigh Witherell, and Jingwen Yao unfolds a narrative deeply interwoven with personal and collective experiences. The significance of figurative art has been profound throughout history. It has the power to confront, comfort, and challenge. From the Renaissance's celebration of the human form to modernism's critical reflections on the self, figurative art has consistently mirrored society's complexities. In keeping with the spirit of its Parisian predecessor, the Salon de Refusées is a declaration that art transcends boundaries and rejections. It's a communal canvas where the once excluded are now exalted, and the discourse on art's purpose and place is vividly alive. This exhibition is not a mere collection of works; it's a vibrant conversation spanning centuries and continuing today. For a deeper dive into the essence of figurative art and its unyielding voice, join us at the Salon de Refusées. #ArtHistory #figurativeart #artexhibition #contemporaryart #SalondeRefusees #artisticexpression #ArtRevolution #BerlinArtScene #ArtisticDefiance #HumanFormArt

Art that disrupts, defies, and reclaims. Our upcoming exhibition, 'Rasquachismo: 35 Years of a Chicano Sensibility,' dives deep into the bold, resourceful essence of Chicano art—an art form rooted in the streets, shrines, and lived experiences.
