Hammer Time
The best part of my job, unquestionably, is that I get to learn from my par=
tners here at Puck. To wit: When my new-ish colleague Marion Maneker starte=
d at the company, earlier this spring, I confessed to him that I was neithe=
r an art market savant nor any sort of connoisseur, but I was nevertheless =
fascinated by the world he covered=E2=80=94the auction houses, the dealers,=
the interlopers, the institutions, the hustlers, and sheer opacity of it a=
ll. In many ways, being an editor is merely playing the foil for the reader=
, and I was thrilled that Marion could inhabit the position of bard.
In particular, I was fascinated by where the art market is right now=E2=80=
=94slightly down on its luck from the sugar high of the zero interest rate =
era, and slightly insecure about its rebound. It seemed like the perfect mo=
ment to add this power corridor
to Puck=E2=80=99s cinematic universe.
And, in some ways, this very insecurity is the leitmotif of Marion=E2=80=99=
s latest masterstroke here at Puck, Sotheby=E2=80=99s Case of the Mondays (=

615e3d301d48d28 ), a fascinating blow-by-blow of the house=E2=80=99s big au=
ction earlier this week. On the one hand, the $267 million in aggregate ham=
mer sales were up 30 percent over the previous year. On the other, the whol=
e affair was colored by a decidedly melancholy mood, with only a single bid=
der or two on many lots. And yet, this fate was decidedly preferable to tha=
t of Christie=E2=80=99s, whose website fell victim to a cyberattack during =
the most important bidding week on the calendar. If you want a more poignan=

to
Marion=E2=80=99s equally excellent story on the vibe shift in the New York =

The art world is hardly the only volatile market under Puck=E2=80=99s juris=
diction. In Delphine to the Rescue ( https://puck.news/delphine-arnault-pul=

), Lauren Sherman details the surprising executive shake-up at LVMH, the w=
orld=E2=80=99s largest luxury conglomerate and Europe=E2=80=99s biggest com=
pany, that has placed Bernard
Arnault=E2=80=99s daughter, Delphine, at least temporarily in the catbird s=
eat. Much like the art world, the luxury fashion ecosystem is still weaning=
itself from the artificial Covid economy, and trying with difficulty to un=
derstand the whims of wealthy Chinese consumers. (As Lauren acknowledged in=
her recent piece, Tiffany=E2=80=99s Clash de Cartier ( https://puck.news/a=

ing anywhere, and his grown children all appear to be handling their public=
succession exercise with aplomb. But Delphine now has the greatest incenti=
ves of them all to figure it out.
But perhaps the most dynamic market right now is the battle between legacy =
media companies and streamers for sports
rights=E2=80=94the last anchor of the pay TV business. John Ourand, Puck=E2=
=80=99s resident sports business expert, has been Magellan-like in this unf=
olding drama. This week, in particular, John published an excellent dispatc=
h about the sour grapes surrounding Netflix=E2=80=99s recent deal with the =
NFL, a relatively small two-game Christmas Day package. But like so many sq=
uabbles, the bickering among sports media executives was hardly about the d=
eal itself. (Netflix paid between $70 and $80 million per game for the next=
three seasons.) Instead, what rankled was the idea that the NFL would look=
beyond its existing partners to bring in a newbie. And that this new playe=

But if you only have time to read one piece this weekend, I=E2=80=99d turn =
your attention to the singular Matt Belloni=E2=80=99s brilliant reported an=

These days, however, Apatow is having a hell of a time getting his work gre=
