APAA Featured in Art Basel & UBS Survey

Over the course of the past year, APAA has worked with Dr. Clare McAndrew, the author of The Art Basel & UBS surveys, to source and provide key data and market insights across our global group of advisors. In addition to providing transactional data for Q1 and Q2 of 2024, a series of questions was developed aimed at elucidating the types of collectors that members advise, as well as the services advisors provide. The goal was to articulate a framework revealing how and where APAA advisors are supporting collector decision-making.

We are thrilled to share that APAA’s authored section, Exhibit 2 (starting on page 128), is now live in the latest Survey of Global Collecting 2024.

APAA’s President, Alex Glauber, provides a thoughtful discussion of the data and emphasizes the impact that art advisors have on art collecting. "When advisors do their jobs well, they become an essential part of the art market’s central nervous system, touching each step of the collecting journey.”

Thank you to Clare McAndrew, Art Basel, and UBS for making this possible and for helping to highlight the critical role that art advisors play in the art market.
