"Several veteran art advisors and appraisers noted the intimidation factor that even uber-wealthy collectors experience when it comes to fine-art buying. Publicly posted prices help topple those barriers." Duh.

.@Sothebys just sold Sheldon Solow's Sandro Botticelli portrait of a "Young Man Holding a Roundel" circa 1480 for $92.2 million, over its $80 million est. Highest price ever achieved for an old master at the house. Appears to have sold to a European. More analysis soon on @wsj.

Withdrawn. Basically I no longer believe in lots for sale or art fair dates

[Alexander Forbes @AlexanderForbes]

how long until people stop saying things on clubhouse they wouldn’t on a panel discussion in front of 100+ journos?

[Alexander Forbes @AlexanderForbes]

Tefaf Maastricht 2021 postponed again—this time to September, immediately before delayed Art Basel & on same dates as @thearmoryshow. Tefaf NY Spring, scheduled for May has been cancelled and will return (hopefully) in 2022. By @AnnaBrady_Art https://t.co/1dmwpk5NsG

also—axios, who arguably spawned this shift, opted for launching an internal comms tool instead of opening up their tools to non-masthead writers. interesting to see how that call plays out in the next few years

[Alexander Forbes @AlexanderForbes]

newsletter wars heat up. interesting to see how writers will weigh 50% lower take rate on subscriptions vs tying up with big tech

Very good point from a reader today, vis-a-vis Pro Rata item on Leon Black.

The Dechert report refers to "underage women" -- a quote I included.

There is no such thing. They were girls.
