Pearl Lam is bridging art and wealth in China’s new age of cultural power
Wealth Office by Michael Macfarlane
Episode notes
For the first time in 300 years, the centuries-old relationship between wealth and art has broken. While global markets surge, art sales are slowing — signalling a deeper shift in how society defines value, culture, and influence.
In this powerful episode of Wealth Office, host Michael Macfarlane sits down with international art icon Pearl Lam, one of Asia’s most influential cultural figures, to unpack how China’s new age of wealth and creativity is transforming the global art landscape.
From Shanghai to London, Pearl offers a candid, behind-the-scenes look at how art, money, and cultural identity now intersect — and what this means for collectors, investors, and family offices in Asia and beyond.
