The Bouvier Affair

How an artworld insider made a fortune by being discreet
The Geneva Freeport, which may be the world’s most valuable storage facility, consists of seven beige warehouses and a large grain silo in La Praille, an industrial zone a short tram ride from the city’s lakeside panorama of banks and expensive hotels. One recent morning, rain was falling on the chain-link fence that runs through the property, and snow was visible on the mountains to the south. Iris scanners, magnetic locks, and a security system known as Cerberus guard the freeport’s storerooms, whose contents are said to be insured for a hundred billion dollars, but the facility retains a blue-collar feel. There were signs to the showers. Men stood around in aprons and smoked. Everything about the place tells you to look the other way.

The Global Art Fairs Industry: An Overview

The global art fairs and antiques fairs industry serves as a critical platform for collectors, galleries, artists, curators, and investors. These events are not just exhibitions but key marketplaces where significant deals are brokered, emerging trends are established, and the pulse of the global art economy is felt.

Global Market Insights & Trends

  • Market Size: The global art market reached $67.8 billion in 2022, with fairs contributing significantly to overall sales. They account for up to 40% of gallery sales annually.
  • Digital Transformation: The rise of online platforms, accelerated by the pandemic, has made art fairs increasingly hybrid, offering virtual viewing rooms alongside physical exhibitions.
  • Regional Growth: Asia-Pacific has emerged as a strong contender in the global art market, with Hong Kong and Shanghai leading the charge in art fair activity. Meanwhile, European fairs continue to dominate in terms of heritage and influence.
  • Sustainability: There is a growing demand for fairs to adopt eco-friendly practices, with sustainable exhibition designs and reduced carbon footprints becoming priorities.

Emerging Trends

  • Diverse Representation: Increasing visibility for underrepresented artists, including women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ creators, is reshaping the art fair landscape.
  • Investment in Art: Art continues to be seen as an alternative asset class, with growing interest from younger, tech-savvy collectors.
  • Tech Integration: Blockchain and NFTs are being explored as tools for provenance and digital art sales, creating new avenues for collectors and artists alike.

Impact of Fairs on the Art Industry

Art fairs are critical nodes in the global art ecosystem. They bring together stakeholders across the supply chain, from artists and galleries to investors and museums. Beyond commerce, they foster cultural dialogue, spotlight emerging talent, and drive innovation in exhibition design and curation.

Art Industry

Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities; this introduction focuses primarily on the visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media.

Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts; however, like the decorative arts, it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential—in a way that they usually are not in a painting, for example. Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of art or the arts.

Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts.

Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis (its representation of reality), expression, communication of emotion, or other qualities. During the Romantic period, art came to be seen as “a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science”. Though the definition of what constitutes art is disputed and has changed over time, general descriptions mention an idea of imaginative or technical skill stemming from human agency and creation.

The nature of art, and related concepts such as creativity and interpretation, are explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.
