How to invest in contemporary art — with John Russo, CEO of Maddox Gallery

John Russo

John Russo, the CEO of Maddox Gallery and an expert in street art, takes us inside the sometimes discombobulating contemporary art market.

In a fascinating conversation, John tells us what we should look for in our first art acquisitions; how Instagram is dramatically changing the way art is discovered; why smart TVs could be the future of art displays; and what the atmosphere was like in the room at Sotheby’s as Banksy enacted his famous shredder stunt.

This episode has been recorded at Mark's Club,read by Joseph Bullmore and produced by Martin Lumsden.
