Art Market Monitor

Murray Moss

The New York Times style blog, The Moment, has an interview with Murray Moss on the eve of Art Basel Miami:

“Art [limited-edition design art] right now is dead. And when we went to Basel in June [the Design Miami Basel show], we did better than we’ve ever done.”

“The real, serious collectors — people who go because they have to — will be there, no matter what. And a masterpiece of design is still a bargain relative to one of painting and sculpture. What would be smart to offer right now is the best of the best. When times are tight, only the good things move.”
