Meet the Latest Addition to the Art World: The Artist’s Agent
In June, New York Times art critic Roberta Smith took a walk down memory lane on the Independent art fair’s podcast Previously Unknown. She described her early days exploring the 1970s art world, a place so small it would be unrecognizable today.
“I could see everything I wanted to in a day,” she said.
As Smith noted, the art world has since grown exponentially. There are 362 shows in New York currently listed on See Saw, an app that acts as a guide to galleries in several cities. Beyond New York, the mega-galleries have expanded into global corporate behemoths, with boards of directors and locations from London to Tokyo. The global art market has grown to $65 billion.

Hyderabad witnessed an influx of artists from across India this year. The reason? Exhibitions! The many large-scale exhibitions curated by the artists themselves became the talk of the town, bolstered by the city’s ever-growing list of exciting new venues.
Among the most astonishing events this year, a few stood out: The NEWS Art Festival, curated by Bolgum Nagesh Goud, Laxman Aelay, and Manvinder Dawer; Affordable Art India’s southern debut in Hyderabad; and the centrepiece of it all — The Real Van Gogh Immersive Experience.
Places like Quorum and Rangbhoomi became buzzing hubs for art enthusiasts. CE spoke with the curators and founders behind these events to dive into their experience of bringing this creative energy to Hyderabad.
