]]> Towards a democratization of art: the market in full mutation. https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/towards-a-democratization-of-art-the-market-in-full-mutation/ Sat, 23 Aug 2025 13:27:09 +0000 https://news.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=935149

The “Art Basel & UBS Art Market Report 2025” confirms a profound transformation of the global art market. While the total value of sales declined by 12% in 2024, transaction volume increased by 3%, reaching more than 40.5 million sales. This contrast illustrates a major shift: growth is now concentrated in the most accessible segments.

Key figures from the UBS / Art Basel 2025 report :

  • Major works (+10M $): -39% in volume, market share down from 23% to 18%.
  • Intermediate works (50K – 1M $): stable, but under buyer caution.
  • Affordable works (<$5K): +7% in value, +13% in volume.
  • New buyers: 44% of buyers were new in 2024, primarily young forty-somethings looking for small, accessible works, both in terms of price and comprehension. Pop art, which features icons, particularly appeals to this new generation of collectors.

Furthermore, 52% of acquisitions involved works by emerging or new artists, reinforcing the interest in accessibility and novelty (Artsy).

Main motivations:

  • 96.3% buy for personal pleasure.
  • 87% to support the talents they love.
  • Only 7% consider investment an important factor (MyArtBroker).

Closures of traditional art galleries mark the transition

The recent closure of iconic New York galleries, such as Kasmin Gallery (after 35 years of operation) and Blum Galleries, which closed in New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, as well as Clearing Gallery NY, shocked the art world. But these events, which also took place in major capitals across five continents, confirm that the traditional “old-fashioned” model must evolve to keep pace with the expectations of a new generation of collectors.

7Art Concept Store: anticipating change

“Art is what you can get away with.”

“Drawing inspiration from this famous quote, which was the guiding principle of Andy Warhol’s work, we have made it our philosophy.” It is in this spirit that 7Art, founded in 2006 by Audrey and François Trabelsi, has established itself as a visionary and pioneering player.

Already in 2008, during Art Basel Miami, Audrey and François produced the exhibition “In Fashion Photo” in a parking lot of more than 2,000 m2.

The main theme of this new kind of exhibition was the only retrospective dedicated to the career of supermodel Naomi Campbell, seen by the world’s greatest photographers. The event attracted more than 25,000 visitors in just 4 days. At that time, traditional galleries did not yet consider fashion photography as an art form… Galleries were then opened in Miami, New York, London and Paris…

INTERVIEW AUDREY TRABELSI – 7ART

Art after Covid-19: 7Art Concept Store, a new generation of galleries is born

 » The Covid-19 crisis marked a decisive turning point in the art world. For more than 18 months, our galleries in Paris (Hôtel Royal Monceau) and London (Four Seasons Ten Trinity) remained closed. This ordeal highlighted a profound change among collectors. We then understood that a new generation of buyers was emerging: younger, more curious, in search of works that resembled them and reflected their times. This generation no longer recognized itself in the rigid and intimidating codes of traditional galleries. It was at this moment that we made a visionary decision: to reinvent the art gallery model.

We designed a new, accessible and authentic offering, featuring works for less than $5,000, whereas our average was previously around $20,000. The immediate success of this approach confirmed our intuition: art had to leave its elitist temples and enter the daily lives of all those who love creation. Today, with 7ART Concept Store, we embody this breakthrough: a new generation of galleries that makes art closer, more understandable, more affordable, while remaining demanding and signed by emerging or established artists. The immediate success with new collectors confirmed our vision: the concept of 7Art Concept Store, where you can find accessible, unique or limited edition pieces, is a success, because nothing justified the exorbitant price of certain works offered by some of the traditional galleries. To date, 7Art cooperates with over a hundred artists and presents more than 1,500 works in a unique collection, also available on their new international website: www.7artusa.com.

7ART’s business model

Investing in the lobbies of large luxury hotels, on an average surface area of ​​25 m2 and, in less than 3 years, 7 openings in Dubai… Others are in progress for 2026.

  • W Hotel – The Palm
  • Jumeirah Zabeel Saray
  • Royal Atlantis The Palm
  • Marriott Resort – The Palm Dubai
  • Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel Dubai
  • Waldorf Astoria Palm Jumeirah
  • Grosvenor House West Marina Beach

International expansion

“After validating our model in Dubai, one of the most competitive markets for luxury and tourism, we are now ready to expand internationally, primarily in the USA as a second step.”

Our strategy is based on three main axes:

  • Hotel partnerships: continue to develop strategic partnerships with luxury hotel groups, based on the same model as the one tested in Dubai.
  • Flagships: opening directly owned stores in major cities to establish the brand’s reputation and prestige image.
  • Franchise: Offering franchise experiences with partners in major cities and tourist destinations where luxury and culture intersect. The development of our model is naturally replicable in other countries with strong market potential, with low risk and high potential returns for investors and partners.

]]> H. Moser & Cie Opens First U.S. Brand Boutique in Silicon Valley at The Villa Menlo Park https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/h-moser-cie-opens-first-u-s-brand-boutique-in-silicon-valley-at-the-villa-menlo-park/ Sat, 01 Mar 2025 13:48:00 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=932281

H. Moser & Cie, the independently owned, small watchmaker gaining notice with collectors for its bold, unconventional design and mechanical ingenuity, has chosen Silicon Valley’s The Villa Menlo Park development as the site of the brand’s first U.S. watch boutique.

To mark this important milestone, H. Moser & Cie unveils its new boutique exclusive Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton timepiece to the world for the first time at the brand’s new Silicon Valley store, presented in partnership with Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry—now open at 500 El Camino Real in Menlo Park, California.

The Villa Menlo Park development realizes the vision set forth by Jared and Stephen Silver, longtime Bay Area retailers and pioneers in the independent watch category. They set out to create a new Silicon Valley cultural hub, with an emphasis on discovery, fine craftsmanship, quiet sophistication, and enriching, curated experiences. The new venue houses world-class dining and retail destinations, including the new H. Moser & Cie boutique, reflecting the growing importance of the American market for the brand and the watchmaking industry as a whole.

The H. Moser & Cie boutique at The Villa Menlo Park offers visitors the opportunity to discover the watchmaker’s rare and remarkable timepieces in a resolutely modern environment. The brand’s first stand-alone U.S. retail boutique—its fourth worldwide—artfully interprets both the brand’s philosophy and its traditional watchmaking craft through a refined, minimalist lens.

The interior exhibits understated lines, refined industrial materials, and carefully composed lighting, inviting watch lovers to rediscover the very essence of the watchmaker’s art, stripped of any artifice. Within its walls, boutique visitors will discover one of the world’s largest selections of rare H. Moser & Cie timepieces in a single location, including the new boutique exclusive Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton timepiece, one of only seventeen such timepieces available in the world.

Edouard Meylan, H. Moser & CEO, says : “The opening of our boutique in the San Francisco Bay Area marks a key milestone in our international development strategy. This iconic region, synonymous with innovation and creativity, perfectly embodies the values that drive H. Moser & Cie.: boldness, a pioneering spirit, and a passion for artisanal excellence.”

We could not be happier than to have the presence of H. Moser & Cie. at The Villa Menlo Park. The brand is one of the most important forces in modern watch design and a flag bearer for independent watchmaking,” says Jared Silver, President of Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry, and a key driver of The Villa Menlo Park development. “H. Moser is rapidly growing its base of collectors in Silicon Valley, and now they will have an immersive home to experience the many different aspects of the company.”

Introducing the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Boutique Exclusive Edition

To mark this milestone occasion, H. Moser & Cie. unveils a boutique exclusive version of its Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton – revealed to the world first at the brand’s new Silicon Valley boutique. The limited edition of seventeen timepieces was designed to offer unrivalled mechanical excellence and a unique visual experience – and marks a new step in the manufacture’s quest for perfection. Limited to the brand’s own boutiques and Moserland concepts, this yellow gold timepiece elevates the contemporary fluid aesthetic of the Streamliner collection whilst embodying the very essence of minimalism in the watchmaker’s art.

One of the most striking characteristics of this piece is its transparency, and perfectly symmetrical design. Faithful to its philosophy of “remove to better reveal”, H. Moser & Cie. has skeletonized every component, eliminating any superfluous material to enhance the stark, fascinating beauty of the mechanism. The skeletonization process results in a refined, luminous piece, highly transparent with incredible depth that reveals all the beauty of the watch mechanism, usually hidden from view. The barrel, which has also been hollowed out, offers a view of the spring, allowing the wearer to check that it is wound correctly. You can even see through the watch to the solid gold rotor, which has also been skeletonized. Particular attention has been paid to symmetry, ensuring the proportions are perfectly balanced. The minimalist finishes are modern, adorning the anthracite main plate and bridges with drawn strokes combined with precise beveling.

At the heart of this timepiece is a one-minute flying tourbillon which seems to float weightlessly, driven by the caliber HMC 814, an automatic movement equipped with a Straumann® double hairspring, designed, and produced in-house by Precision Engineering AG. This innovation reduces friction and increases accuracy, ensuring a perfect symbiosis between aesthetics and technical performance.

The 40 mm cushion case and its integrated bracelet are both made from yellow gold and echo the signature ergonomic curves of the Streamliner collection. This pairing ensures optimal comfort and a fluid design which sits perfectly on the wrist. With this exclusive model, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Boutique Edition in yellow gold stands as a bold declaration of style, aimed at knowledgeable watch lovers who are seeking the perfect union between form and function.

Discover this rare timepiece — one of only seventeen in the world — and more at the H. Moser & Cie. Menlo Park boutique on the ground floor of The Villa Menlo Park, located at 500 El Camino Real, in Menlo Park, California.

The store is open to the public and by private appointment, Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

]]> The World, Residences at Sea Announces 2025 Journey https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/the-world-residences-at-sea-announces-2025-journey/ Fri, 20 Dec 2024 18:12:19 +0000 https://business.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=931904 FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 20, 2024 – The World, the largest privately owned residential yacht on earth, reveals its 2025 Journey featuring unrivalled worldwide adventure. Sailing across five oceans and visiting six continents, a once-in-a-lifetime voyage awaits our international community of travellers featuring almost 100 ports of call.

Borneo The World Residences at Sea

The only ship of its kind in operation today, The World offers a one-of-a-kind ultra-luxury lifestyle of global exploration from the comfort of a home at sea. Renowned for its explorations to the planet’s most remote and undiscovered regions as well as to diverse cosmopolitan cities, The World begins 2025 in Cabo San Lucas on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula and ends the year in historical and picturesque Hobart, Tasmania, Australia where it will ring in 2026.

Carefully curated by the Residents themselves after months of thoughtful discussion and research, this itinerary combines vast open expanses, lesser-explored, remote lands and tiny island inlets with some of the globe’s most vibrant, metropolitan destinations. Continuously circumnavigating the globe on a journey bursting with unparalleled adventure, those on board will be immersed and enriched in a multitude of cultures and new experiences that beckon at each port of call.

The World’s incomparable 2025 itinerary promises breathtaking beauty, adventure and discovery.

After ringing in the new year in Cabo San Lucas, our international community will sail along the dramatic western coastline of the United States before sailing south to Mexico and embarking on an expedition to the Sea of Cortez, also known as the Gulf of California. In March, following visits to Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia, Residents will turn their gaze toward the Caribbean Sea.

As they voyage to Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Grenada, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, the Grenadines and the Lesser Antilles, they will relish the region’s crystalline waters, rich flavors and vibrant wildlife. Across the Atlantic our explorers will journey to the Canary Islands, Funchal and Casablanca, followed by a brief departure to the Mediterranean, with stops in Italy, Malta, France, Spain, and Portugal. Upon their turn to the South Atlantic, Residents and guests will immerse themselves in African destinations throughout Namibia and South Africa.

Two more expeditions beckon between September and November. During the Madagascar Expedition, Residents and guests will explore the fourth largest island on earth and its huge diversity of habitats and wildlife, some species found nowhere else on Earth. The final expedition of 2025 to West Papua at the eastern extreme of Indonesia will reveal endless opportunities for exploration across a varied and dynamic marine ecosystem. As the year draws to a close, The World will spend the holidays Sydney, Australia, toasting to the New Year in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia and celebrating another incredible global journey.

Sea of Cortez Expedition

The magnificent sea teems with wildlife enclosed by the Baha peninsula known by Jacques Cousteau as “the world’s aquarium.” Away from the crowds of Cabo San Lucas, Residents will discover wild coasts where the desert meets the sea scattered with uninhabited islands. The expedition will include a voyage to the more remote islands with a hike through the lost world landscapes and forests of giant cacti in search for the endemic species. Numerous occasions for snorkelling and diving will be complemented by exploring the stunning coastlines by Zodiac or sea kayak in the company of majestic sea lions and playful dolphins along with opportunities to see gray whales in peak season. With expert guides and marine biologists on board, this expedition promises an immersive and educational experience in one of the planet’s most remarkable marine environments.

Madagascar Expedition

With the longest coastline of any African nation, Madagascar, the world’s fourth largest island, has a huge diversity of habitats ranging from tropical forests to arid deserts. While the coastline varies from mangrove-lined estuaries to stunning beaches with eclectic corals, it’s the diversity of the wildlife that makes Madagascar unique. It’s sometimes referred to as the eighth continent because of the species that have evolved there and that are found nowhere else on Earth. Along with the wildlife, the culture and history of Madagascar will be explored with Residents enjoying the beaches along the coast with swimming, diving and snorkelling in the warm waters of the Indian ocean.

West Papua Expedition

The final expedition of 2025 will be to West Papua, at the eastern extreme of Indonesia. This calm equatorial sea scattered with seemingly endless islands provides a wealth of opportunities for exploration both above and below the waves with exceptional marine biodiversity. Above sea there are vast landscapes of sculpted limestone, dense tropical forest and white tropical beaches along the shores. There will be visits to the towns and villages as well as islands with a rich history in the spice trade. With opportunities to explore stunning coral reefs, dense jungles and remote islands, along with world-class diving and snorkelling, this expedition offers a deep and enriching experience in one of the world’s last frontiers.

The World’s Expeditions 

The ultimate experience, The World’s expeditions offer an in-depth look at a particular region. Led by a team of experts and specialist lecturers, they add new dimensions to each day with hands-on experience and knowledge. Depending on the location, they include anthropologists, marine biologists, dive and snorkel guides, historians, kayak guides, naturalists, oceanographers, ornithologists, and other local specialists. Professional photographers offer workshops to help Residents and guests capture vivid memories of the majestic landscapes. Once-in-a-lifetime events are complemented by informative lectures and excursions for hands-on immersion. Among the multitude of expeditions enjoyed by The World’s Residents are Aldabra, Antarctica and the Falkland Islands, Arctic, Bering Sea, Borneo, French Polynesia, Greenland, Madagascar, Melanesia, Namibia, Northwest Passage, Pacific Islands, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, Polynesia, Ross Sea, Sea of Cortez, Sea of Okhotsk, Seychelles, Svalbard, The Kimberley, Vanuatu, West Africa, West Papua, and White Sea.
