We did a blog entry on the current state of the art markets, as seen through the eyes of our Leona Craig Art arm.  In the blog we also give references to other recent articles and commentaries.  Bottom line is that the market seems to be firming up and picking up.  See the entry at http://blog.leonacraig.com/2009/06/14/state-of-the-art-markets-june-2009.aspx
