艺术市场稳定的新形式

  • 考虑到2008年的金融危机及其对之后艺术品价格的影响,艺术品市场似乎已经相当成熟,现在正处于一种新形式的稳定和脱离经济形势的独立状态。
  • 这种稳定性建立在大量交易的基础上:每学期超过25万批,有效地构成了国际艺术市场的坚实基础。
  • 2018年上半年(500万美元以上)售出的229件作品与2017年上半年(仅为163件)进行比较
  • 超高端市场,即少数极为罕见的作品(超过1亿美元),现在对全球年营业额总额有很大影响。
  • 阿布扎比酋长去年11月为达芬奇的萨尔瓦多·蒙迪代表作支付了4.5亿美元,占2017年全球艺术品总营业额的3%

A new form of stability in the Art Market

  • Considering the financial crisis in 2008 – and its repercussions on art prices the following year – the Art Market appears to have considerably matured and is now enjoying a new form of stability and independence from the economic situation.
  • This stability is based on a very large volume of transactions: over 250,000 lots each semester, effectively constituting a solid basis for the International Art Market.
  • Compare the 229 works sold in H1 2018 (above the $5 million) with H1 2017  ( the number was only 163 )
  • The ultra-high-end market, i.e. a handful of extremely rare works (> $100 million) now has a great impact on global annual turnover totals.
  • The $450 million paid by the Emirate of Abu-Dhabi for Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi masterpiece last November, alone accounted for 3% of 2017’s total global Fine Art turnover
