Tim Schneider is an art-business reporter for artnet News and the writer behind The Gray Market, the conversation-starting weekly industry-news recap. His work combines nearly a decade of firsthand experience in the gallery sector with insights gleaned from research into economics, tech, data-analysis, and related subjects. He often focuses on the need for best practices and greater professionalization in the art market, particularly on the private side; the negative consequences of their absence for all parties involved; and the potential for innovation to create lasting change in the trade. These themes also form the core of his 2017 book The Great Reframing: How Technology Will—and Won’t—Change Contemporary Art Sales Forever.
