The 2017 art market is looking like it will be reflective of a strong economic forecast, nationally at least. The stock markets along with the art markets have not crashed with the announcement of the new president-elect. They are poised to stay steady or surge with the nations’ population looking confident coming out of a hostile election campaign. After all, now we all know what to expect, and the spending is due to increase with buyers confidence returning. The same has been said for the art market. The November 17, 2016 edition of Christie’s auction house news on their website declares more record-breaking art sale results going into the 2017 year for a Monet grain stack painting.
“…The world auction record for Claude Monet was eclipsed after an epic 14-minute bidding battle in the Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale in New York. The saleroom burst into applause when Meule, one of the last of the artist’s great Grainstack series left in private hands, finally sold for $81,447,500 / £65,210,168 — just over $1 million more than the previous record, which was set at Christie’s London in 2008….This was the highest result for an Impressionist & Modern Art sale at Christie’s since May 2014.”
However, locally not is all good news, with the closure of another gallery in Boerne, the art market takes another punch, with a host of local artists loosing representation. However, Peggy’s on the Green within the Ye Kendall Inn now has an affiliation with Texas Treasures Fine Art Gallery and is exposing the Boerne Square market-goers with delightful outdoor sculptures and offering a variety of small 2-D artworks within the buildings.
Writer Vikki Elmer hit the nail on the head in her article titled, “Is the Art Market a Bubble Ready to Pop”, published a few months ago. In it she describes the air very clear, “…In many ways….More people have invested in art in hopes that it will appreciate in value. Galleries, artists and collectors, following the lead of many businesses, have become more diverse and global, creating a host of opportunities and issues. Digital art and online galleries are growing rapidly, while small independent galleries and shops that have not adapted to the changes are dying.”
With that said, Art Professional Gabriel Diego Delgado is proud to announce the launch of his own arts focused firm, Delgado Consulting and Appraising. Delgado says, “As the art market evolves into the new digital era, storefront galleries have been an archaic model, a dying breed of institutional history. The time of digital marketing, retail and online purchases have ushered in a new demand for art market driven best practices. I see a void in the regional art consultation field as many collectors, patrons, and appreciators view selections online before seeing in-person and need help navigating the sometimes complex art world. This new model of awareness drives business evolution.”
Delgado takes fine art from the studios to the homes, surpassing the need for a store based gallery.
With Delgado Consultation & Appraising, he has juxtaposed a two tier concept business model where clients and artists are nurtured. With artist colleagues from Houston to Harlingen, Delgado has a broad array of artists to turn to for clients’ needs and demands. Using these connections and relationships he has helped cultivate regional collections for a variety of collectors in the Texas Hill Country area.
Through a variety of social media platforms and email marketing, Delgado offers a client the avenue to solicit art for desired interior needs from the artists, while spotlighting and promoting new bodies of work by a host of fine artists in Texas. Through online communications and aspects of the B2C business model, he navigates clients through the world of fine art and helps them gain an understanding and awareness of the current art market of South Texas.
Delgado Consulting and Appraising can also appraise fine art and conduct fine art appraisal reports that are prepared in conformity with and are subjected to the 2016-17 version of the International Society of Appraisers Appraisal Report Writing Standards and Code of Ethics and will be reported in conformity with the current version of The Appraisal Foundation’s Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) 2016-2017 standards.
