The Art of Understanding and Buying Art

We discussed why contemporary art is no longer simply a “beautiful object,” but a space where questions of price, value, and meaning intersect.
The conversation moved through the most expensive and most widely recognized artists, key moments that shaped the art world, and the works and names that defined 2025 and are now setting the tone for 2026.
We looked closely at how to choose a work of art and what truly deserves attention, including why something that feels deeply valuable on a personal level is not always a profitable investment.
Through real examples and open discussion, we explored the anatomy of the art world from the inside — how expert vision is formed, how the eye is trained, and how aesthetic literacy develops over time.
We also clarified how the art system actually functions: how pricing works, what influences value, and what really stands behind a number on a price tag.
Finally, we explored the fragile line between rational calculation and genuine passion, between the mindset of an investor and the instinct of a collector.
