The Big Deal: When Art Meets Business

Art and business might seem like two very different worlds, but The Big Deal with Steph McGovern brings them together in a brand-new BBC Two competition. The series follows seven pairs of aspiring art dealers as they attempt to buy and sell contemporary artwork and prove they can succeed in a competitive market.

Episode 1 introduces the contestants to the challenge and shows why selling art requires much more than simply appreciating it. Dealers need to understand their customers, communicate the value of an artwork and have the confidence to persuade someone to make a purchase. One wrong decision could leave them struggling to make a sale.

With Steph McGovern at the helm, The Big Deal promises to make the art market feel much more accessible while giving viewers the chance to follow the contestants as they learn what it really takes to become a successful dealer.
