Contemporary art defies the market… [15/11/2011]

The art market is proving its extraordinary capacity for surprise. After the very disappointing Impressionist & Modern sales in New York, the outlook for the Contemporary and Post-War Art sales was not particularly good

At the end of the first quarter of 2009, the global art market price index showed a 10% contraction. But in New York City, host to some of the world’s most prestigious art sales, the crisis is being felt particularly hard: the same index shows a 35% local contraction since January 2008.

Christie’s and Sotheby’s prepare their prestige May sales in New York [04/05/2009]

Contemporary art loses its shine [17/11/2008]

The market for contemporary art, the most speculative segment of the art market (+108% since 2003), has not withstood the shocks of the current financial turmoil. The results of the prestigious November sales in New York organised by Sotheby’s and Christie’s on 11 and 12 November are most discouraging.

American Pop Art – the bubble is leaking air… [21/09/2008]

The general price index for American Pop Art – the epicentre of art market speculation since the beginning of the decade – is showing signs of waning. Although Andy Warhol is the third most expensive post-war artist, along with Francis Bacon and Mark Rothko, auction sales of his works since the start of 2008 have been less successful… Could this be a first sign of market saturation?

Each artist makes their own, large or small, contribution to the total market. And ranking them by auction turnover gives a good indication of market conditions, preferences and trends. Every year Artprice ranks artists by this criterion.

During May 2005, only 44 pieces reached the 1 million mark, and in May 2001 the figure was just 24.

Contemporary art: lots of new records in New York [09/11/2005]

In New York, after the success of the impressionist and modern art sales, the auction world has again been rocked by record sales, this time of contemporary art at Christie’s and Sotheby’s. In total, the two evening sales generated USD 272 million, including USD 21,250,000 for Cubi XXVIII, a monumental sculpture by David SMITH. Created in 1965 and measuring almost 2.8 metres in height, the work had been estimated by Sotheby’s at between USD 8 and 12 million.

Booming contemporary art auctions [24/05/2004]

The contemporary art market has been doing fairly well of late, and the last big auctions of the year have reaffirmed the trend. The wealthiest US investors are continuing to support new art. Record after record has been falling in New York, and not only for American artists.

AMERICAN POP ART: +160% in 10 years [12/08/2003]

Pop art blurred the lines between fine art and its commercial cousin — an astute business move, apparently, as prices at auction now spiral beyond the reach of many collectors.

Contemporary art auctions in New York reassure the market with 34 records in three days [24/11/2002]

In a tense economic climate, contemporary art auctions in New York are proving stronger than modern art and impressionist art sales. The evening auctions may have been unexceptional. But Sotheby’s and Christie’s still managed some reassuring surprises, generally in the less prestigious later sessions, when prices for some artists showed real growth and some of them turned out to be impressive records.
