Penetrating the PR hype to find out how dealers and art fairs are really doing is always hard, so I was interested to see the below snippet on Frieze Masters from seasoned art market watcher Colin Gleadell of The Telegraph:
After a fairly dismal performance at the Frieze Masters fair in October, where few Old Masters paintings were sold, the Old Master market picked up its heels at the London auctions last week.
That does tie in with what I've heard. More of Colin's views on London's recent Old Master auction week here.
