The UK government has agreed to classify galleries and auction houses as ‘non-essential retail businesses’, thus allowing them to reopen in the second phase of the lifting of lockdown restrictions, currently planned after 1 June. The Art Newspaper reports that art trade associations including LAPADA and the British Art Market Federation (BAMF) have been lobbying the government for guidelines regarding a safe return to work.
Collecting art is a journey that balances emotion, intuition, and long-term vision. While the art world may sometimes feel overwhelming, approaching it with curiosity and intention can make the process deeply rewarding. Each artwork you choose is not just a purchase but a reflection of your values, curiosity, and relationship to creativity.
