The Future of the Artist and the Gallerist Relationship

Art Basel Miami Beach 2018, December 7

Whatever the situation, most are rethinking how they should be representing artists and dealing with their clientele. Defining the gallery model of the future is therefore becoming an increasingly relevant question. So what does the ideal future-gallery model look like and what is required to develop a sustainable model that will satisfy all involved parties in the long run?
