András Szántó The Future of the Art World 40 Dialogues

The third in a series of books investigating the future of the museum following on The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues (2020) and Imagining the Future of the Museum: 21 Dialogues With Architects (2022). Rounding out the previous volumes which examined the "software" and the "hardware" of the museum the 40 dialogues in the third installment of the trilogy survey the social cultural economic institutional and technological conditions of the wider ecology in which museums operate. The conversations include leading figures from around the world engaging voices not heard in the prior vol umes: artists curators collectors members of the art trade sociologists entrepreneurs and others. Together they offer a portrait of an art world seeking to adapt to a rapidly changing society. András Szántó (*1964 Budapest) advises museums cultural institutions and leading brands on cultural strategy. An author and editor who oversaw the National Arts Journalism Program at Columbia University his writings have appeared in The New York Times Artforum The Art Newspaper and many other publications.
