The Art Market: How Value and Quality Intertwine from the 16th Century to Today
A very dedicated reader of my newsletter is called Jan. Last year, Jan, who is a business coach, helped me to believe that writing my newsletter as a passion could also make a strong business model. He believed in my concept and he believed in me.
Recently, I ran into him by chance while having a drink with a friend on a terrace. He gave me one last tip: “You’re doing great, Emily, but don’t forget to set goals. How many subscribers do you want for your newsletter by 2025? And how many of them will be so inspired that they’ll choose to subscribe to the paid version?”
Setting those goals has really been working. This month, over 130 new people subscribed to the newsletter. Thank you to every loyal reader and every new reader. And a special thanks to those who pay for my content. And thank you, Jan, for helping me realise that this is a long-term project, but one that clearly brings value and fulfillment to both the readers and to me.
Unlock one paywalled post for free
In my excitement about all of this, I want to give my free subscribers the ability to unlock one paywalled post for free in the Substack app. The paid article below offers an insight into a market trend of the 16th-18th century and how it links to a current art market trend.
I look forward to what the future holds. What I know for sure is that sharing my passion and love for contemporary art, and demystifying the art world makes me incredibly happy.
See you next week,
xxxx
Emily
