Insight Report: Women Artists in the Market

On today’s episode, we turn our attention to women artists — and the shifting dynamics of their place in the art market. This conversation unpacks the key findings of our latest Insight Report, which explores the growing presence and influence of women artists in Modern and Contemporary art.   Joining the discussion are Anders Petterson, founder and managing director of ArtTactic and co-author of the report; Jenny Waldman, Director of Art Fund; Christian Levett, collector and founder of the Femmes Artistes du Musée de Mougins; and Ottilie Windsor, Head of Contemporary Art at Sotheby’s London. Together, they explore how the presence and influence of women artists in Modern and Contemporary art is evolving, and what this means for collectors, institutions and the market at large.   The report was produced in collaboration with ArtTactic and made possible by Sotheby’s Financial Services, whose mission is to empower collectors through asset-backed lending solutions.   This podcast was recorded at Sotheby’s London in June 2025.    To step further into the world of Sotheby’s, you can visit any of our galleries around the world; they’re open to the public.
