On this podcast, Simon Lim puts the spotlight on Kenneth Tan, Founder of Wasuka Art located at No. 81 Joo Jiat Road. 

Kenneth Tan founded the art gallery Utterly Art in 2001. After 23 years, Kenneth has rebranded Utterly Art with the introduction of Wasuka Art. Why the name Wasuka? What does it mean?

Kenneth has spent over 20 years steeped in the business of contemporary art. His experience and knowledge gives him a unique insight into the trends, opportunities and vulnerabilities of the art market. Just by looking at an artist's work or body of works, how would one know that the work has market potential? In other words, what makes an artwork sellable? Some people buy art as an investment. How can someone ascertain if an artwork has the potential to be a much sought-after piece in the future? 

Hear from Kenneth about Spanish artist Murfin (born Manuel Delgado Diaz) and pop artist Andre Tan. Having worked with so many artists, how would Kenneth Tan describe the psyche of today's artists? 

If there is dream or vision for the arts landscape in Singapore to make a quantum leap, what would be this dream? Listen to Kenneth's perspective as a gallerist. 
What has been one good lesson that Kenneth has learned in the art business? What does Kenneth think is the biggest misconception about the art business?

Find out the answers from Kenneth Tan, Founder of Wasuka Art.
