Women, Wealth & the Future of Art Value: Galleries, Online Sales & Legacy | ValuationPodcast.com In this episode of ValuationPodcast.com, Melissa Gragg speaks with Ann Priftis, CEO of a group of seven contemporary art galleries across the U.S. and Canada and an art advisor/appraiser - about how value is created (and preserved) in today’s art market. You’ll hear how galleries are shifting from the classic “white box” model to hybrid sales (in-person + OVR/online viewing rooms), why many serious purchases still require human advisory (not “Buy Now” buttons), and what collectors should know about stewardship, appraisal, and estate planning. Anne also unpacks how women and next-gen collectors are changing taste, discovery (social media), and resale behavior - and why most art should be bought for love first, returns second. 5 Key Takeaways Hybrid is the new normal: Galleries pair brick-and-mortar with online viewing rooms and consultative sales - especially effective when buyers already know an artist’s work. Human trust drives high-value sales: For five-figure (and up) works, collectors still want storytelling + expert guidance, not a one-click cart.
