Marc Payot, president of Hauser and Wirth, emphasized the importance of long-term engagement, stating, 'What matters is long-term engagement-building relationships, not just transactions.' He noted that serious collectors were actively engaging at the fair.
Simon Fox told the Guardian that the fair, which opens on Wednesday, can benefit from having strong competition on its doorstep and replicate the mutual success of Barbie and Oppenheimer at the box office in 2023. He said: It's very convenient for collectors who can come to London, spend a weekend here and then go on to Paris. It makes for a Barbenheimer moment.
