From April 28 to 30, Berlin will host Art for Tomorrow - a conference held in association with The New York Times that seeks to assess the most pressing challenges facing the industry today.

 

Moderated by NYT journalists Scott Reyburn (Arts Correspondent), Farah Nayeri (Culture Writer) and Matthew Anderson (European Culture Editor), the carefully curated programme invites art-world experts to discuss topics such as the perceived lack of diversity in museum collections, the art industry’s relationship with climate change, controversial patrons, the flatline of art sales despite increasing wealth, and the battle between mega and mid-sized galleries.

 

Taking part in the line-up of provocative interviews and discussions will be: Kader Attia (artist), Maria Balshaw (Tate Director), Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev (Curator and Director at the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea), Marc Glimcher (Pace Gallery President), Meike Marple (artist and co-owner of Night Gallery, LA), Frances Morris (Tate Modern Director), Hermann Parzinger (President of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation), Julia Peyton-Jones (Senior Global Director: Special Projects at Thaddaeus Ropac), Geoffrey Robertson (author and barrister at Doughty Street Chambers), Tomás Saraceno (artist), Alain Servais (collector), and Sophie Tea (artist).
