The best results in the Modern art segment in 2023 [2024年01月09日]

Picasso, Klimt, Bacon, Rothko, Kandinsky, Magritte and Modigliani… the market for Modern art is undeniably the segment most likely to trigger the most spectacular auction results, and the only segment capable of generating no less than 16 results above 100 million dollars (in 2023) for works by the most famous artists born between 1860 and […]

Three women artists under 40 on the art market in 2023 [2024年01月05日]

Three women – whose work redefines what we already know about abstraction and figuration – are already eliciting 7-digit auction results (in USD) although they are only in their thirties.

Henry Darger: the posthumous fate of an extraordinary œuvre [2024年01月02日]

Fifty years ago, Henry Darger died alone, poor and unknown, but today he is one of the most famous and highly regarded artists in ‘Outsider Art’.

Veritable breaths of fresh air in today’s creative universe, Fabienne Verdier’s almost minimalist works are being revalued on the auction market.

The exhibition […]

African art on the art market: calm after the storm [2023年12月26日]

“Cautious” is probably the best way to describe the art market’s current mood with respect, notably, to Contemporary African artists. Despite solid prices still being hammered for major Modern signatures and for some very ‘museum-visible’ Contemporaries, auction results have cooled off for many of the artists who were intensely coveted last year. The urgency of […]

His drawings are considered to […]

The best results for Old Masters in 2023 [2023年12月15日]

Although works from the Old Masters period generate the smallest proportion of the global art market (less than 10% of its global turnover), essentially due to the rarity of masterpieces, this prestigious segment nevertheless attracts passionate bidding. Remember that the most expensive work in auction history is Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi, which sold for […]

Vera Molnár, hommage to a pioneer [2023年12月12日]
