This week, Instagram’s impact on art collecting, Chicago’s missing Keith Haring, 50 buildings in 50 cities, privilege at art museums, the largest object in the universe, and more.
Artsy has conducted a survey of how Instagram impacts art collectors (though there’s no mention of the sample size and methodology). Some extraordinary claims include:- … an incredible 51.5% have purchased works from artists they originally discovered through Instagram …
- … 87% of collectors surveyed check Instagram more than twice a day and 55% open the app 5 or more times a day …
- More than half (64%) told us that the majority of the accounts they follow are art related.
- Around 61% of collectors consistently look at an artist’s hashtag (Ex. #DeanLevin or #PetraCortright) before buying—and 42% do so often.
- Almost one third (31%) of the collectors have purchased specific works they discovered on Instagram.
- …majority of collectors (73%) believe that Instagram makes the art market more transparent…
- 51% of those surveyed believed that it promoted art flipping.
