Contemporary Art Sells Luxury Products The Frieze New York art fair starts this week. One of the most important events in the art calendar. Luxury customers who purchase street wear influenced luxury products are influenced by american contemporary artists like Jeff Koons and Daniel Arsham. #luxurycustomers This is why luxury brands often work with contemporary artists to design products for them. Daniel Arsham recently made a limited edition jewellery line for Tiffany & Co. #luxurybrandpartnerships Streetwear today is imbedded in many luxury brands. Which means contemporary art is even more important to brand partnerships. There are many very talented contemporary artists and brand opportunities for luxury brands to leverage and attract luxury customers.

Less than one year ago, Andrea Jose Castro and I met in Lima at Conservation X Labs #InnovationXchange (thanks Cassie H. for orchestrating!). Since then we've traded stories, ideas, and encouragement to continue creating a jewelry industry that elevates people at its core. Next wednesday, I'm honored to reunite with Andrea Jose and several other sustainability and social impact leaders NYC Jewelry Week to talk where we're seeing progress, where we're getting stuck, and how to really move forward together. #NYCJW #Sustainability #ResponsibleSourcing #Sostenibilidad #Impactosocial

My writeup on Prada’s new exhibition in Shanghai and why it’d do well —- Nearly a year after China lifted Covid-19 restrictions, luxury brands are eager to connect with an audience that yearns to form emotional and physical connections in real life. Gucci’s exhibition in April, Louis Vuitton’s pop-up in October, and Hermès’ exhibition this month all epitomise the industry trend. Pradasphere II is likely to bode well given the brand’s strong foundation with locals even through Covid-19 – holding ongoing talks and pop-ups at Rong Zhai, a historic residence restored by Prada, and the 2021 wet market pop-up in Shanghai that has served as a textbook reference for other luxury brands. These give both long-time aficionados and new admirers a chance to engage with the legacy beyond the luxury retail space. #chinamarket #fashionandbeauty #luxury #pradasphere https://lnkd.in/gjpBn3jK

😍 I love how Tiffany breathes new life into an ''old-style icon''! ➡ Here comes the #story 💫'' In a dazzling spectacle that lit up Shanghai's skyline, Tiffany & Co. unveiled its latest #masterpiece, the "Bird on a Pearl" collection, atop the West Bund Orbit exhibition hall on March 14. 🕊 This event, a glittering nod to the brand's iconic "Bird on a Rock" motif, marked a significant moment for Tiffany & Co. as it spread its wings in #China's high #jewelrymarket. The majestic display not only turned heads but also set the stage for an evening when guests were treated to the first glimpse of the collection that's been almost 60 years in the making. 💛 The "Bird on a Pearl" collection breathes new life into Jean Schlumberger's 1965 original "Bird on a Rock" design, with rare natural saltwater #pearls taking center stage. These pearls, celebrated for their impressive size, shape, and luster, come in hues that range from pink to gray, embodying the vibrant palette of the four seasons. Among the collection's highlights are a #brooch inspired by #Schlumberger’s archival acorn motif and a breathtaking necklace featuring over 325 carats of pearls, demonstrating Tiffany's unmatched craftsmanship and attention to detail. 💛 This launch aligns with Tiffany's strategic push into China's #luxury market, as the Bain-Altagamma Luxury Goods Worldwide Market Study 2023 highlights. The study underscores #finejewelry as a "bright spot for investment amid uncertainty," a sentiment Tiffany is capitalizing on by catering to China's top spenders with exclusive products and events. 👲 Since LVMH's acquisition in 2021, Tiffany has ambitiously expanded its footprint in China, with #sales growing from €3 billion in 2020 to €5.1 billion in 2022. This growth trajectory is expected to continue, with projections estimating sales to reach €7.4 billion by 2025. Tiffany's focus on exclusive high #jewelry events and the opening of new #boutiques in key Chinese cities underpins its commitment to capturing the hearts of luxury buyers in this pivotal market. 💍 The "Bird on a Pearl" event is more than just a launch; it's a statement of Tiffany's enduring legacy and innovative future in the world of luxury jewelry. As the giant #bird sparkled against the night sky, it was a clear signal that Tiffany & Co. is not just participating in China's luxury market but is set to lead it, with creativity and elegance at the forefront of its endeavors.''

🖼 Navigating the Art Market: Insights and Trends 🖼 As I explore the intersection of luxury real estate and investment-grade art, I find the trends and dynamics of the art market particularly fascinating. According to the latest Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report, the global art market totaled $65 billion in 2023, with the U.S. leading at 42% of all sales. China has now surpassed the U.K. as the second-largest market, driven by post-Covid demand and the resurgence of art fairs in Hong Kong. The rise of online auctions and digital marketing has significantly transformed the market. Sotheby’s reports a 28% increase in bidders since 2019, with luxury categories like watches, jewelry, and wine becoming primary entry points for new collectors. Investment-grade art requires a keen understanding of market dynamics. The recent Sotheby’s Insight Report identifies the 50 most bankable artists, with Picasso, Monet, Warhol, Basquiat, and Richter dominating the market. Female artists are gaining recognition, with Joan Mitchell breaking the $10 million barrier at auction. 🌟 Great art not only holds its value but also enriches our lives and elevates our living spaces. 🌟 To read more on Sotheby's Luxury Report: https://lnkd.in/exmQvHwq #ArtMarket #InvestmentArt #LuxuryRealEstate #KimberlyCaseyTeam
