I covered the New York market for the Post beginning in the mid '80s, when the market was starting to go up. The auction houses were getting more publicity with sales of $40 million van Goghs. I think galleries were feeling left behind, and they started launching art fairs as counterweights to the auction spectacle, which it really was. The totals accelerated with the arrival of Japanese buyers, and that also drew a lot of media attention.

Charlotte Burns: And we have Judd Tully, an award-winning journalist, widely-published writer and critic, who is the Editor-At-Large at Blouin Art + Auction magazine and Blouin Art Info. Charlotte Burns: That preceded the idea of shaping your own narrative, which is what you can do with social media. Judd, I wanted to ask you, how many years have you been covering the market beat? Judd Tully: Too many. I was primarily covering, from '86-'87, contemporary art and Impressionist and Modern art. And these were tiny sales. Minuscule. I mean I can remember a headline: "Christie's Contemporary Art: $12 million". The total. Not for, say, a Mark Grotjahn painting, but the whole sale.
