PARIS--9 Oct--PRNewswire/ InfoQuest
According to Thierry Ehrmann, the CEO and founder of Artprice, the global contemporary art market achieves its 3rd best performance, in spite of the current global economic crisis. The museum industry, which is booming on all continents, has made it possible for Contemporary Art to resist.
Each year in October, Artprice publishes an overview of the global Contemporary art market. This 140-page report, translated into 5 languages, presents recent key events and trends, and uses the auction results recorded between July 2011 and June 2012 for artists born after 1945 as its backbone. The study contains macro- and micro-economic analyses that provide the keys to understanding the evolution of the Contemporary art auction market. It dissects the major market trends analysed throughout the year by Artprice's ArtMarketInsight news agency and our econometrics department.
To complete this objective survey of the art market, Artprice also offers its acclaimed rankings such as the Artprice top 500 Contemporary artists by auction turnover.
