Art Basel Qatar: The Truth Behind the Hype with Tina Corinteli

from Seen · host Carrie Scott

Art advisor Tina Corinteli joins Carrie from Doha to give us the unfiltered take on Art Basel's experimental new format. No traditional booths. Museum-style flow. All costs covered. Sounds dreamy, right?Tina breaks down what really happened: the stunning presentations (Sadie Coles!), the sales situation (complicated), and whether galleries would return if Basel wasn't footing the bill. Plus, she reveals what this fair was actually designed to do—and spoiler: it's not about moving inventory.Highlights include a never-before-seen Alex Katz selling for $3.6M, epic desert installations, and Tina's brutally honest quick-fire round where she calls it "glamorous" and "symbolic" in the same breath.If you've been curious about what's happening with Art Basel Qatar, this is the conversation you need to hear.Join our free newsletter and become an art insider:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://mailchi.mp/seen/waitlistIf you want to connect with us between episodes, follow us on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/watchseenart⁠⁠⁠⁠.About the Have You Seen? series:The ⁠Have You Seen? Series⁠ is all about talking to emerging and mid-career artists about their journey to now.Curious about how an artist got to where they are or indeed why they chose art in the first place?
