Author, art entrepreneur and art advisor, Christoph Noe, is back with his next round of advice on maintaining positivity in the art world with “How To Not Fuck Up Your Art-World Happiness – Volume 2.”

This latest collection of guidelines is a follow-up to Noe’s bestseller, continuing the conversation of how to stay sane, engaged and even enthralled working in the art world. “After working all these years in the creative industries, I’ve found it essential to continuously rediscover the charm while at the same time remaining vigilant in avoiding unpleasant situations. With this next volume, I hope to inspire my readers to do the same,” Noe explains. Once again, Noe addresses all the actors of the art market, and even those not yet in it, with his witty tips, tricks and hacks that he’s learnt the hard way, so you don’t have to.

Christoph Noe founded the Ministry of Art in 2005 with a focus on Chinese artists from the post-1970s and 1980s generation. In 2013 he co-founded LARRY’S LIST, a premier resource for art collectors. Other publications by Noe include The Private Art Museum Report 2023 (2023), The Next Gen Art Collectors Report (2021), Art Collector Report (2015), Liu Ye, a catalogue raisonné for the painter Liu Ye (2015), and Hong Kong Artists: 20 Portraits (2012).

“After selling 5,000 copies of the first volume, it was time for a further review of how to keep the passion alive for our beloved art world. Once again, I have drawn on my own experiences to highlight just what makes it all worthwhile while also warning against some of the traps present in the scene.”
