The Artprice / FIAC Contemporary Art Market 2009/2010 report is out!
[19 Oct 2010]
Artprice and the FIAC are pleased to announce the release of their latest report on the Contemporary Art Market 2009/2010. This report was distributed to the press and 85660 visitors to the FIAC, and is freely available on Artprice.com.
This fourth edition of our Contemporary Art Market report is an essential document for all amateur and professional buyers or collectors of Contemporary art wishing to stay abreast of the key developments in the market. The report contains market trends for more than 72 countries and analyses top-selling individual artists’ resistance to the deflated speculative bubble… How has the contemporary art market evolved through a period of doubt and uncertainty … and where is the market heading tomorrow?
One thing is certain: this crisis cannot be compared to that of the early 1990s. Of course, compared to 2006/2008, million-plus auction sales have become scarce; but the contemporary art market is today more dynamic than ever and is showing a rare degree of maturity that many regulated markets would envy.
This year, the report analyses the Contemporary art market per artistic medium. Indeed, although the utility of a per-medium ranking may not be immediately apparent, this approach has the advantage of clearly revealing which media are the most sought-after and which are still having difficulties imposing themselves on the market.
The report also presents the world’s 500 top-selling current artists (i.e. born since 1945) and has a Galleries’ viewpoint section as well as a Collectors viewpoint section. There is a special chapter dedicated to the design market with a particular focus on the strong rise in value of sculptural and decorative furniture and on the recent evolution of the design market, whose physiology increasingly resembles that of the Contemporary art market.
According to Thierry Ehrmann, Artprice’s founder, the success of the 37th edition of the FIAC demonstrates the high confidence level on the art market (Artprice’s Art Market confidence Index is three points higher than at the opening of the last FIAC in 2009).
