Sotheby's Mari-Claudia Jiménez Looks Ahead

Mari-Claudia Jiménez is Chairman, Managing Director & Worldwide Head Business Development Global Fine Arts, Sotheby’s. In this podcast, she connects the challenges of 2020 to the incredible art market successes of 2021. The pandemic revealed a new market environment where in-person viewings are no longer requisite for sales but digital and AR technologies are key. Jimenez explains that big market players like Sotheby’s focus on global reach. The notable growth in Asia is having a broader effect on the market as collectors are no longer strictly bound by the former collecting categories but they view luxury goods and a diverse variety of artworks as essential elements of their fine art collections. editing & original music by Colin Ketchen
