Contemporary Art Market Report is now online

Over one billion Euros in twelve months...

For  the first time in  the market's history, the  sale of contemporary works at
auction  has crossed the billion mark. Which particular names are shoring up the
high  end market  today? What  is the  impact of  speculation? Who are the best-
performing  artists in the long term? Which  emerging artists are waiting in the
wings?  What are the specific features of the contemporary art market in Europe,
China, the United States and Qatar? What changes are under way, and what are the
possible risks?

With  this analysis of contemporary art auction sales between July 2012 and June
2013, Artprice.com  takes stock of the situation  and gives you the crucial keys
for understanding it.

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 2012
and  June 2013 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.
