Three Million Markets

There is no global art market. There are over three million professional artists in the world, which means three million individual markets — each artist a monopolist of their own practice, each practice its own economy.

The existing infrastructure serves perhaps ten thousand of these markets — the ones that generate headlines, auction records, speculation opportunities. The rest are left to navigate alone, building audiences through accident and exhaustion, hoping for discovery that may never come.

Nonterritorial is infrastructure for the full three million. Not by flattening difference or imposing uniformity, but by providing circulation channels that work regardless of scale, geography, or market position. An artist with a single exhibition and an institution with hundreds can both participate, both operate, both reach audiences they couldn't access alone. The infrastructure doesn't discriminate. It circulates.
