Lisa Panzera
from How Does the Art World Work? Hosted by Bartholomew Bland, Claudia Doring Baez and Matt Nasser
In this episode of How Does the Art World Work?, hosts Matt Nasser, Claudia Baez, and Bartholomew Bland sit down with Lisa Panzera during Miami Art Week to discuss the evolving landscape of contemporary art. From the resurgence of figurative painting to the challenges of running a gallery, Lisa shares insights from her career spanning both the commercial and nonprofit sectors. They dive into how the recent downturn in the art market has shaped major fairs like Art Basel, the hidden world of art pricing, and what it really takes to build a successful gallery. Lisa reflects on the differences between commercial and nonprofit institutions, explaining how the fast-paced world of sales contrasts with the slower, more academic approach of university galleries. The conversation also explores how young artists are often picked up too soon, why mid-tier galleries are struggling, and whether a QVC-style art sales channel could bring more transparency to the industry. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in the art world—beyond the glamour of art fairs—this episode is a must-listen. Listen now on Spotify & Youtube
