Women Artists Are Poised to Take Off

“I think that women artists are on the upswing, and the market will start to correct as more collectors, in it for the game, will drive the prices of women artists up as will buyers recognizing the talent that has been there all along. As a result, women artists will be doing larger artworks, with Damien Hirst- or Jeff Koons-style studios, and they will also become a greater presence in architecture.

“There will be mechanized ways to change galleries and exhibi- tions, allowing for more elastic shows with an ability to place more art on view in ways that are not possible now. The Google project will continue to expand beyond its 32,000 images from 46 museums and will globalize the art market and increase accessibility and expo- sure for all institutions. This digitization will build the audience for images and ideas about art that will dramatically extend what catalogs and books do today. Art will increasingly reach more people in more places.”
