[Magnus Resch @MagnusResch]

‘Magnus, what art should I buy? Where do I start?’ These questions come my way nearly every day. In response, I've compiled my answers into my latest book, HOW TO COLLECT ART. I have poured 20 years of art world experience into this to answer one simple question: what's the smartest way to collect art?

Early reviewers have dubbed HOW TO COLLECT ART "an essential handbook" (@CNN) and the "definitive guide to the art market and collecting in the 21st century" (@papermagazine). I firmly believe that anyone considering buying art should explore this book. It also includes advice from the world’s leading art market experts. Think about HOW TO COLLECT ART as art advisor in your pocket. It’s available now.

@MagnusResch is a genius

[Magnus Resch @MagnusResch]

Excited to teach my @HarvardHBS case on art market transparency! Solving fraud, lack of buyers, high transaction costs & illiquidity is key. AI, NFTs & blockchain will drive growth, making the market 3x bigger. New buyers & smarter tools will shape a more open, accessible future.

[Magnus Resch @MagnusResch]

Wrote this op-ed for @RobbReport. I explore how the $73T generational wealth transfer will reshape the art market-amid an art surplus, shrinking buyer pools & shifting tastes. But collecting isn’t just about returns-it’s about connection, support, meaning. https://t.co/239Mq42aXg

The price of an artwork isn’t based on its complexity or originality but on the artist’s network. Cattelan, backed by Gagosian and top museums, always sells in the millions. Sotheby’s marketing hype drove this price—it’s never just about the work itself.

[Magnus Resch @MagnusResch]

I wrote this op-ed for @artnews about how @friezeofficial and @ArtBasel are strangling galleries. While I respect the brands their hard working teams have built, I believe they are currently doing more harm than good for small and mid-size galleries.

For years, tech platforms have been pining to disrupt the art market with A.I. or blockchain or a jazzy new platform. Puck’s Marion Maneker (@artmarket) offers a low-fi tech solution, developed during a chat with Yale professor @MagnusResch https://t.co/CvUTKmG2Of

[Magnus Resch @MagnusResch]

Got a similar impression? @the_gray_market @KellyCrowWSJ @ZacharyHSmall @MarionManeker @DanielCassady @mgerlis @aservais1 @juddtully

While traveling through Europe, I spoke with several gallerists. It appears that European galleries are struggling severely. Based on my conversations: Alpha galleries' revenue down 20%, Beta galleries by 50%, the rest by 70%. This aligns with auction houses, which are down 30%.

[William Newton @maye_29616]

In my latest for @TheSpectator we look at a question that I'm often asked: how do I build an #art collection? Art market expert @MagnusResch and I discuss and debate some ideas (and hard data) from his excellent new book on this very subject.

[Daniel D. Eckert @Tiefseher]

Viele @Tiefseher-Follower schätzen es richtig ein: Wenn ich ein beliebiges Kunstwerk in der Galerie kaufe, ist es am wahrscheinlichsten, dass der Marktwert des Œuvres in 10 Jahren 0 sein wird. Für 99% aller Werke gibt es keinen Markt. Quelle: SMART KUNST KAUFEN by @MagnusResch

[Daniel D. Eckert @Tiefseher]

Auch ich lese immer von "neuen" Auktionsrekorden und Kunstwerken, die sich im Preis vervielfacht haben. Doch die Realität in der Breite des Kunstmarkts scheint eine andere zu sein: Jedenfalls waren die Gesamtumsätze 2023 mit rund 65 Mrd. Dollar kaum höher als 2011 cc @MagnusResch
