Matt Carey-Williams: The Art World Veteran Backing Emerging Artists

Gallerist and Writer Matt Carey-Williams joins brave podcast Host Lydia Higton to talk about thirty years in the art world and the gallery he opened in 2023. From Sotheby's, Gagosian and White Cube to Deputy Chairman at Phillips and Head of Sales at Victoria Miro, Carey-Williams explains why he left the blue chip world for a small space with large ambition. He and Higton cover why his programme runs in episodes and scenes, why he writes his own 3,000 word exhibition texts, what an emerging artist should ask a gallerist, the 50/50 relationship between artist and dealer, and why trust is built by actually doing what you said you would do.
