At first I thought Stefan was an ass, but after watching the video, he’s the only one who makes sense. There needs to be 20,000 people, exactly like him.
Very fascinating conversation. I like Stephan's edgy Ness and refusal to entertain the superstar artist praise. As a fine art sculptor I found this discussion interesting because it's talking about the shifting stage and platform for emerging atistic talent that gallery doors have been closed to.
I think Stefan conveniently neglects to mention how his 'stashing inventory' model could (and did) ruin artists' careers when it comes time to liquidate (dump) it all; artists would be correct to treat the model with HUGE caution. That said, I do think some of his ideas are worthwhile. 1. highlighting the power that vertical integration has given the mega galleries 2. highlighting that 'placing; work in the correct collections really is just controlling distribution 3. trying to move the conversation away from Warhol and Koons: not that they're not great artists; I just don't think their markets are very helpful or instructive for the rest of the world's artists 4. Generally, his approach to speaking about art as a cultural commodities market is very important for demystifying the art world. In an intelligent, informed way.
So Stefan is a horrible person who gives $50,000 bucks and a art studio to new artists and takes their first 50 paintings. Then Stefan makes the Artist rich and the Artist is blackmailed by scumbag institutions... I think Stefan is awesome! It is called business. I will take that deal.
Sarah Thornton really messed this up. A high profile group of panelists but Thornton came in with such boring questions. how bad can you be prepared. Loss of time...
Stefan and I got into an online argument with Stefan about Oscar Murillo because I called Oscar a one trick pony so he told me to F off a couple of months ago.I thought he was just another rich boy buying his way into fame but after listening to him talk about the mechanics of the art world I have to admire the fact that he says it how he sees it. I work in real estate so I do not have to suck up to galleries . My opinion is untainted by wimpy brown nosing art loser antics.

There already are 20,000 people exactly like him, just not in art.

the new art world, ruled by non-artists. What a great idea!
Simco is right on point. Business 101.

I'll take it!! lol
Excellent. Good to see some disagreement!
high theater... parts are very entertaining, especially when Simco goes off.
Paul sounds exactly like a drunk John Malkovich.
Great discussion!
Is that Tammy 2 chairing the debate?
HAH! Basically.
I love Simco
How can the mediator be sad to watch, and she is one of the experts ?
Expert,,,, she is no expert... Stefan is fighting the establishment.
Stefan on blockchain: "basically a hashtag with a series of numbers and letters" 😂 dude... it's ok to be wrong sometimes dude
He's even worse at explaining it as I am.

Stefan Simchowitz was loyal to Oscar Murillo. Oscar made Colombians look bad and burned Stefan.
Lol, look at the body language of schimmel and cappelazzo
