We are pleased to share the third and final part of our discussion with Kristian Jarmuschek on the topic of ART AS AN ASSET. This excerpt highlights the importance of the unpredictable when it comes to collecting art. When it comes to purchasing art, it is not solely about connoisseurship that could be lucrative, but about an emotion, an instinct or an impulse. Supporting an artist has a lot to do with your own experience, curiosity and genuine enthusiasm rather than just monetary concerns, and art depends on people who treasure it.

We are excited to present the second part of our interview with Gallerist and Chairman of the Federal Association of German Galleries and Art Dealers, Kristian Jarmuschek. In this excerpt, you will get insights into the current state of the art world, with Kristian Jarmuschek exploring questions such as: What role do art fairs play in the success of an artist? How has the sales process changed over the years and what role do social media play in the purchasing decision-making process?

We hope you enjoy the video and would be glad to hear your thoughts on the topics discussed.
