Fine Art I Art dealer
Rank 13
Skarstedt
Specialist secondary operator for 1980s–contemporary blue chips—auction bidder and private placer, not a megadealer mall.
Why it is here
The Art Newspaper's Albert Oehlen buyer's guide documents Skarstedt buying auction-record work and selling multi-million fair asks—classic secondary specialist positioning. Wallpaper* profiles the London gallery as blue-chip address architecture supporting oeuvre-period selection, with Selldorf-designed New York operations.
Who it is for
Collectors rotating Condo/Prince/Sherman/Oehlen-class inventory who want dealer-led private liquidity.
