We are also releasing our usual art trade summary at the beginning of the year. Besides this, we not only review the future of museums in connection with a book that has just been published, but in fact a book also gives an idea of whether the network theory of Albert-László Barabási can really be applied if we want to predict the success of the art trade.

We are releasing our fast tracker with the sure awareness that if the world returns to normal operation, much of the online space will not come back.
