Design not on such hard times
With the current global economic climate it seems that consumerism is well and truly alive. Early this year with the sales just about to finish up it seems many people are still spending just in a more conservative manner. But where does design stand in all of this? New York Times is reporting that it could be a great opportunity. Of course there is less spending on high-end interior design and architecture but tough times in society have created some of the world's great inventive designers and designs. No doubt that creating environmentally sustainable,well-priced and beautiful designs will be this generations design cross to bare.

Desperate times at the ADAA?
On receiving an email regarding the ADAA Collectors' Forum The Global Economy and the Art Market: A New Perspective in Uncertain Times it seems that judging from this collectors and dealers are definitely struggling with uncertain economic times especially in the USA.
I would suggest that it is the more unpredictable or less committed collectors that would perhaps be buying less art or being cautious. Buyer's with serious collections and knowledge would understand that this is the time when some serious bargains are to be had (and to use some economic jargon) a bit of a readjustment period.
The Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) which is holding this forum seems to be made up some of American's oldest and established galleries and dealers with speakers from Yale, The Guggenheim Foundation and one half of Luhrig Augustine Gallery, Roland Augustine (President of the ADAA) all speaking. Clearly this is a genuine example of the seriousness in which the art market in American is taking this financial crisis. On the upside, if there is one, I hope that younger and emerging artists will benefit in more investment due to their lower prices - here's hoping.
