The Future of the Art World – A Conversation with Marion Ackermann, Grace Yao, and Thomas Girst.
- Moderator: András Szántó
What will the world of visual art look like in ten or twenty years? In times of rapid change—driven by ongoing geopolitical and economic crises, shifting discourses and audience expectations, strained cultural funding systems, and the use of artificial intelligence, to name just a few factors—art institutions and markets are seeking ways to adapt to the new realities. But how?
Based on András Szántó’s book *The Future of the Art World: 38 Dialogues* (2025), this conversation explores an art world in flux that presents new challenges to its institutions as they shape their path toward the future.
Marion Ackermann is President of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.
Grace Yao is the founder and CEO of ARTLAS.
Thomas Girst is Global Head of BMW Group Cultural Engagement.
András Szántó is a cultural strategy consultant and author.
