Prestige sales in New York produce mixed results [17/05/2011]

June 2010: major sales in London … and in Paris! [05/07/2010]
The major London sales during June were stacked full of high quality works: an ultra-rare Manet self-portrait, a Fauvist work by André Derain with an extraordinary background and an absinthe drinker from Picasso’s ‘Blue Period’ – the results could not fail to better the previous years’ totals.
Christie’s and Sotheby’s anticipate price increases [03/05/2010]
For their Contemporary Art sales on 11 and 12 May 2010, Christie’s and Sotheby’s are betting on high prices for masterpieces signed Warhol, Klein and Rothko. But above all, the catalogues contain a number of major works that the crisis has withheld from the market.
Lucian Freud in Paris [26/02/2010]
From 10 March – 19 July 2010, the Centre Pompidou in Paris is hosting an exhibition of Lucian FREUD’s work. The British artist has not been exhibited in France since the first retrospective at the same museum in 1987.
The highs and lows of contemporary artists [19/01/2010]
As expected, auction revenue figures for contemporary artists in 2009 contracted quite substantially (divided by 14 in the case of Damien Hirst, and by 3 in the case of Jeff Koons). However, for all that, the market is not in bad condition. The loss of the speculative element has essentially allowed prices to settle back to 2004 levels.
New York sales perk up… [16/11/2009]
Is the art market recovering? That’s at least the impression given by Sotheby’s impressive $117.1m total revenue from its Contemporary Art sale on 11 November 2009. The figure is way above the auctioneer’s total estimates which were at worst a third and at best a half as much. Christie’s on the other hand was far from posting a “surprise” total with just $63.9m from 39 lots sold the previous day.
Marc Newson confirms his star designer status [27/07/2009]
At just 46, Marc NEWSON already has pieces in prestigious public collections such as the Vitra Design Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburg and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Among the 30 or so awards he has received since the 1980s, he won the famous Compasso d’oro in 2000, and over the last decade his price index has literally exploded making him the most expensive living designer on the international auction circuit.
Mixed results in New York [26/05/2009]
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.
Affordable art: a diversified market [18/05/2009]
For 10 years now a special “roaming” art fair has been dedicated to affordable art contributing to dispelling the notion that art is elitist and beyond the budgets of the masses.From 4 to 7 June 2009, the Affordable Art Fair is returning to Paris, at the Espace Champerret, having already visited London, Sydney, Amsterdam, New York and Brussels. Young collectors and informed non-professionals seeking new talents can discover more than 600 artists at prices ranging from 100 to 5,000 euros.
Christie’s and Sotheby’s prepare their prestige May sales in New York [04/05/2009]

Results of the Contemporary art sales: seriously off the boil [15/02/2009]
A week of sales in London Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and Phillips de Pury & Co tested the resilience of the contemporary art market which has been the most speculative and volatile compartment of the market over the last few years.
Damien Hirst / Jeff Koons – Artists and managers [22/09/2008]
The two most well-known and expensive contemporary artists alive today have other talents in common. They both enjoy exceptionally high media profiles, both elicit controversy, both set their respective auction records in 2008… and both know how to communicate. They also both seem to be “financially aware”.September 2008 sees both on centre stage with just five days between the two. The American Jeff Koons, the most expensive living artist at auction today, is currently rubbing shoulders with French royal history having inaugurated his exhibition at the Palace of Versailles (10/09/2008 to 14/12/2008) while the English artist Damien Hirst has caused a mini sensation by selling directly through Sotheby’s…
Jeff Koons [01/09/2008]
The Palace of Versailles will soon (September 10) be staging a 3-month exhibition of the works of the American “master of kitsch”, Jeff Koons. Some works will even be installed in the very heart if the royal apartments. Aside from the aesthetic clash and the associated controversy, the exhibition represents an opportunity for France to host the work of the highest paid living contemporary artist in the world today.
Contemporary sculpture in excellent shape [15/06/2008]
In the contemporary art field, sculpture, and particularly the offshoot known as ‘installations’, is currently enjoying a high level of market interest. At the top end, collectors are now paying tens of millions of dollars for monumental works by the likes of Koons, Hirst and Murakami. Artprice takes a look at this high profile segment of the market occupied by young artists, all born after 1945.In less than a year, the number of 7-figure (sometimes 8 …) auction sales involving three dimensional works has substantially increased. In 2007, 14 works sold for over a million dollars; in the first six months of 2008, we are already at 18…
Contemporary art in New-York – Confidence reigns… [19/11/2007]
Art market players had been worried by the idea of a market downturn after the mixed results from the impressionist and modern art sales in New York on 6 and 7 November. However, one week later, the strong sales in the contemporary art sector proved that the market remains buoyant.
Jeff Koons – The promise of a foretold success [24/10/2007]
During the 1980s, Jeff Koons appropriated everyday consumer items such as vacuum cleaners, basket balls or various knickknacks. Unlike Duchamp who, with his ready mades, did not seek aesthetic delight in exhibiting mundane objects, Koons glorifies mass-made products in a Pop aesthetic. The American artist aimed to reach the widest possible audience in opting for popular culture…and the bet paid off. He is now not only one of the artists commanding the highest prices but also one of the most controversial!
Jeff Koons, star of the US market [04/12/2006]
The American Jeff Koons is one of the top-quoted contemporary artists on the market, and perhaps one of the most controversial.
