Art Market and the Auction Business
The art market bounced back from the pandemic strongly in 2021, with aggregate sales of art and antiques by dealers and auction houses reaching an estimated $65.1 billion. Representing a 29% increase on the previous year, this demand-driven art market saw almost all categories of art collectibles from masterpieces to NFT’s outperform expectations. A huge surge of millennial collectors also drove the market to new heights, creating both opportunities and challenges to collectors and art businesses alike.
Join art market professionals during Christie’s Autumn Auction week for a half-day programme to understand auction dynamics, the art market in 2022, and current tastes and trends. Participants will receive first-hand experience to view a live auction, and gain insights on how an auction is run and set up.
