The art world in 2023: market predictions, big shows, museum openings
The Week in Art
What's the Plan for the MPG, Jane?
The National Portrait Gallery is set to open in Soho, London. The MPG will have a new entrance and more permanent gallery space. Both museums are being renovated as part of the UK's cultural renaissance.
In the first episode of the year, we look ahead at the next 12 months. Anny Shaw, the acting art market editor at The Art Newspaper, peers into her crystal ball and tries to predict the fortunes of the art market this year. Then, Jane Morris, one of our editors-at-large, José da Silva, our exhibitions editor, and host Ben Luke select the museum projects, biennales and exhibitions that they are most looking forward to in 2023.
