The Gray Market’s Tim Schneider Shares His 2026 Art Market Predictions

In this week’s episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Tim Schneider, founder of The Gray Market. The conversation looks back at how Tim’s 2025 art market predictions played out before turning to his newly released forecasts for 2026, including the persistence of what Tim calls “art market dysmorphia” as galleries simultaneously expand and contract, and why auction houses may generate far more revenue from categories like wine and spirits than from young contemporary art. Adam and Tim also discuss whether brands like Frieze or Art Basel could extend beyond the fair model into other sectors, as well as the growing possibility of US museums financially guaranteeing works at auction. The episode concludes with Adam and Tim each sharing a special ArtTactic Podcast exclusive prediction for the art market in 2026.
