The Art Business

JD Malat is a contemporary gallery founded in 2017 and located in Mayfair just down the road from Claridges Hotel and alpha galleries and auction houses including Gagosian, Sadie Cole and Philips.  We talk about London as an art world hub, how galleries develop their artists as well as how they have coped with the pandemic.

As Head of Sale, she brought the first mural by Keith Haring to market, achieving a new world record for the artist; she conceived and executed 'Paper Jam' - the department's first curated selling exhibition, and devised the exhibition of the collection of visual arts patron and hip-hop icon Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest.

In addition to her role at Bonhams she also runs an independent auctioneering and fundraising consultancy, serving non-profit institutions and holding auctions at high profile charity galas and benefit events in the United States and Europe. Her clients include international royalty from HRH Prince Charles to Jay-Z and Beyonce, and she has shared the stage with leaders of finance, entertainment, tech and politics. Over the years she has auctioneered to thousands of bidders and raised millions for charity.

Anna Somers-Cocks OBE is one of the best-known names in the international art world.  After her early career as a curator at the V&A Anna went into art journalism and founded The Art Newspaper in 1980.  She is also renowned for her work with the Venice in Peril Fund as well as the Illicit [Antiquities] Trade Advisory Panel.  We talk about the power of art, walking and spirituality, the illicit trade in Italian antiquities and, of course, the prospects for Venice in the light of COP 26.
