The global art market is shifting quickly. Sales have slowed, galleries are closing, and many gallerists and artists are rethinking how to build and sustain a strong collector base. In response, a new approach is gaining traction: affordable collecting. It opens the door for more people to buy art, reshapes how value is defined, and creates new opportunities for artists, galleries, and collectors alike.

This panel brings together perspectives across the art ecosystem—appraisal, collecting, fair infrastructure, publishing, and artistic practice—to examine how visual art is valued and accessed in these shifting conditions. Inspired by the recent release of a limited-edition print of Sun Chimes Through the Summer Song by Emily Manwaring, produced by Du-Good Press in support of Abrons Arts Center, this conversation will explore the role print editions can play for art supporters interested in affordable collecting, the realities shaping the art market, and how ideas of value and ownership can be reconsidered.
