• James Stourton on London’s Postwar Art World and the Rise of the Global Market

  In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with James Stourton, British art historian and former chairman of Sotheby’s UK, about his new book Rogues and Scholars: A History of the London Art World: 1945 to 2000. Stourton reflects on key moments that shaped the postwar British art market, including the landmark Jakob Goldschmidt auction, the rise of the buyer’s premium, and the shift in global power from London to New York. He shares insights into the long-standing rivalry between dealers and auction houses, the decline of certain collecting categories, and whether those markets can ever rebound. The conversation also touches on how larger-than-life personalities once helped define the art world and where the biggest risks and opportunities lie for the next generation.

• Inside The Artists Speak Report with Charlotte Burns and Julia Halperin

  In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by journalists Charlotte Burns and Julia Halperin to discuss The Artists Speak Report, a major new survey they authored, commissioned by Anonymous Was A Woman. Based on responses from over 1,000 female artists, the report offers a rare and essential look into how artists are navigating their careers, touching on everything from financial insecurity and institutional support to the role of community and the pressures of identity-driven work. We explore why this kind of research is so necessary in an art world that often operates in silos, where artists’ voices are too often left out of larger conversations. Charlotte and Julia walk us through how the report came together, unpack some of its most surprising findings, and reflect on what the broader art world can do to better support artists moving forward.
