Summary: In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, Colin Gleadell, art market columnist for The Daily Telegraph and art market reporter for Artnet, joins us to discuss last week's major London contemporary auctions at Christie's, Sotheby's and Phillips. First, Colin recounts what it was like to be in Sotheby's salesroom when Banksy's Balloon with Girl self-destructed. Then, he speculates if Banksy was at the sale and if Sotheby's was aware of the ploy. Also, Colin breaks down the auctions at Christie's and Sotheby's and tells us where the art market stands after the auctions.
