In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, Gareth Harris, chief contributing editor at The Art Newspaper and contributor to the Financial Times, joins us to breakdown Damien Hirst's Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable exhibition in Venice, his first major show in ten years.  First, Gareth retells his initial reaction to the show while walking through the exhibition during the press preview. Then, he explains what he meant when he wrote, "this is what art looks like when unbridled ambition meets apparently limitless financial resources." Also, Gareth speculates why the show has been so polarizing, how galleries and museums are responding to the show and how this may impact Hirst's declining market.

In this week's edition of the ArtTactic Podcast, Gareth Harris, chief contributing editor at The Art Newspaper and contributor to the Financial Times, recaps the French contemporary art fair FIAC and touches on how Brexit may impact the UK art market. First, Gareth outlines some of the major differences between FIAC, which occurred last week in Paris, and Frieze, which took place the preceding week in London. Also, Gareth observed that many American collectors were missing from this year's edition of FIAC and he speculates on why that was the case. Then, he summarizes how the fair did from a sales perspective. Additionally, Gareth identifies some of the major aspects of the UK art market that may be impacted by Brexit as well as if participants in the market are preparing in any way for the eventual exit from the EU.
