Exclusive ArtPrice Report: Is the art market experiencing a 'global artistic renaissance'?
Posted on October 22, 2008 at 9:28 AM.
Historically, the United States has dominated the art market since the 1950s. At the beginning of this century, the US represented roughly half the value of the global art market, with Christie's and Sotheby's at the bridgehead operating almost as a global duopoly.
In New York and London these auction houses regularly generate sales over ten million dollars for modern and post-war artists. The icons of 20th century artistic production like Andy Warhol or Francis Bacon are gradually dethroning the former (predominantly French) stars of the market like Auguste Renoir and Vincent Van Gogh.
