Howard Rehs’ Comments on the Art Market are available for anyone to read on his website http://www.rehs.com/index.html or just sign up for his newsletter. It will appear in your email box every so often. Yes, he speaks favorably about “his” artists, but so does everyone. Howard Rehs; however, is constantly stretching to look at the “big picture” in the art world. He seeks to identify trends for his readers in a probative, upbeat fashion and I think he does it well.
Sarah Douglas is an art reporter producing a publication called The Appraisal for ArtNet.com. Sarah attends art fairs nationally as well as internationally. She too is attempting to share her observations, hence sharing insight into the puzzle we call the “art world”.
Art & Auction magazine’s Souren Melikian is the senior-most art whisperer. He divulges who sold what at auction, what the auction house needed to do to win the consignment of that collection and what category of human bid successfully for the star items. Melikian is able to relate who the underbidder was and why they may have come up short! Both he and Rehs will not hesitate to characterize a disappointing price as the result of its being re-auctioned prematurely.
