Impressionist & Modern sales in London: the right balance? [2011年02月15日]
The results of the Impressionist & Modern February sales in London were respectable compared with the results of the same sales a year earlier, although somewhat less spectacular.
Auction records at Christie’s [2010年12月12日]
Every fortnight Artprice posts a new or updated ranking in its Alternate-Friday Top Series. The theme of today’s TOP article is the 10 best-ever auction results generated by Christie’s.
Lucian Freud in Paris [2010年02月26日]
From 10 March – 19 July 2010, the Centre Pompidou in Paris is hosting an exhibition of Lucian FREUD’s work. The British artist has not been exhibited in France since the first retrospective at the same museum in 1987.
Mixed results in New York [2009年05月26日]
At the end of the first quarter of 2009, the global art market price index showed a 10% contraction. But in New York City, host to some of the world’s most prestigious art sales, the crisis is being felt particularly hard: the same index shows a 35% local contraction since January 2008.
Artprice’s TOP 10 ranking: the art market heavyweights in 2008 [2009年03月15日]
Every year Artprice publishes its ranking of artists based on auction revenue. At the end of 2007 the figures were remarkable: the market’s Top 10 had generated a combined total of $1.8bn, up no less than 50% on the previous year’s total. In 2008 the total was $100m lower than for 2007 at $1.7bn, a figure representing 20% of the total global art auction market on 1.5% of its transactions.
Results of the Contemporary art sales: seriously off the boil [2009年02月15日]
A week of sales in London Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and Phillips de Pury & Co tested the resilience of the contemporary art market which has been the most speculative and volatile compartment of the market over the last few years.
Contemporary art loses its shine [2008年11月17日]
The market for contemporary art, the most speculative segment of the art market (+108% since 2003), has not withstood the shocks of the current financial turmoil. The results of the prestigious November sales in New York organised by Sotheby’s and Christie’s on 11 and 12 November are most discouraging.
The New York miracle [2008年05月15日]
The gloomy financial climate of the beginning of the year fuelled fears of a rapid deflation of the speculative bubble the art market has been enjoying over recent years. These fears seemed all the more justified as European art prices contracted by 7.5% in the first quarter of the year.With the dollar weak, it remained to be seen how the New York art market would react -particularly in the high-price segments. Not surprising therefore that the Impressionist & Modern Art sales at Christie’s and Sotheby’s of 6 and 7 May, followed, a week later by the Contemporary Art sales, were observed with much interest, particularly by investors who had watched Sotheby’s stock price reduce to less than 30 dollars at the start of the year.
The TOP 10 artists [2008年03月13日]
Every year Artprice compiles a ranking of artists based on the total revenue generated by public sales of each artist’s work, with Pablo Picasso invariably taking the number one position on the market podium. Not so in 2007: after nearly 10 years, the champion of modern art has been dethroned by the guru of Pop art, Andy Warhol. Second in 2006, Warhol became the global market leader in 2007.More than just one name replacing another, this ‘event’ reflects a veritable sea-change in the auction world. While in the 1990s the very pinnacle of the art market belonged to the impressionists, particularly Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet, and then, after 2000, to the moderns with Pablo Picasso and Gustave Klimt, today, and possibly for some time to come, the market has hoisted contemporary art to the summit of the pyramid.
Francis Bacon, flying high – “All my paintings are accidents” … [2008年02月17日]
Francis Bacon’s assertion that all his paintings were accidents certainly reflected a chaotic personal life filled with confrontations, intense relationships and calamitous separations. The first shock occurred in 1925 when a violent confrontation with his father effectively separated him from his family. Bacon was 16 at the time. The second shock was aesthetic in nature and had a crucial influence on the young man: in 1927 a visit to an exhibition of Picasso’s works inspired him to take up drawing. Twenty years later, Bacon’s work was strewn with distorted figures depicting tormented bodies – the portrayal of contortioned human flesh producing an arresting psychological intensity.
Auctions in February 2008: the new rhythm of contemporary art [2008年01月29日]
New schedule! Traditionally the two giants of global art sales – Christie’s and Sotheby’s – organise their auctions of impressionist and modern art followed by sales of post-war and contemporary art in the same week.
Contemporary art in New-York – Confidence reigns… [2007年11月19日]
Art market players had been worried by the idea of a market downturn after the mixed results from the impressionist and modern art sales in New York on 6 and 7 November. However, one week later, the strong sales in the contemporary art sector proved that the market remains buoyant.
‘Contemporary Art – evenings sales’ in London: £140 million [2007年06月25日]
Having achieved a historic result in this sector on 16 May last in New York ($384,654,400), Christie’s opened the ball of the London contemporary art sales on 20 June with sale proceeds of £67,470,800 in 83 lots. The following day, Sotheby’s outstripped its competitor, selling 66 lots for a total of £72,427,600. In 2006, the total London proceeds of the two auction houses’ contemporary art evening sales amounted to close to £56 million.
Christie’s confirms its leading position in contemporary art [2007年05月21日]
The thrill of the New York contemporary art auctions is no longer the thousand dollar sale but those achieving millions of dollars. At the height of the May sales, a work by Mark ROTHKO went for 65 million dollars, becoming the most expensive post-war work in the market. These days the Sotheby’s and Christie’s contemporary art auctions are raising proceeds in excess of those on “Impressionist & Modern Art”. In 138 lots, the 15 and 16 May sales generated, all costs included, 639,528,400 million dollars, compared with 515,012,000 million dollars on 123 lots the previous week in the “Impressionist & Modern Art” sales.
Great expectations for New York’s May auctions [2007年05月02日]
On 8 November last year, Christie’s New York managed to far outstrip its principal competitor Sotheby’s with a record sale that generated USD 491 million from 78 lots!This year Sotheby’s is planning a spectacular response with its New York sales of ‘Impressionist and Modern Art’ and ‘Contemporary Art’ that it estimates will generate between 416 and 561 millions dollars.
Contemporary art: lots of new records in New York [2005年11月09日]
In New York, after the success of the impressionist and modern art sales, the auction world has again been rocked by record sales, this time of contemporary art at Christie’s and Sotheby’s. In total, the two evening sales generated USD 272 million, including USD 21,250,000 for Cubi XXVIII, a monumental sculpture by David SMITH. Created in 1965 and measuring almost 2.8 metres in height, the work had been estimated by Sotheby’s at between USD 8 and 12 million.
Top prices for 4,614 artists since the start of 2005 [2005年07月27日]
Prices of fine artworks continued on an exceptionally strong growth trend in the first half of 2005, and logically enough, the general increase in art prices of 4.1% also generated a sharp rise in the number of auction records.
Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud, stars of the contemporary art sales in London [2005年06月27日]
Like last year, the art market’s leading auction houses, Christie’s and Sotheby’s, counted on Francis BACON and Lucian FREUD to underpin the success of their contemporary art sales in London.
Boom in contemporary art auctions [2004年06月27日]
The evening auctions of contemporary art at Christie’s and Sotheby’s in London on 23 and 24 June 2004 echoed last month’s good results in New York. Both auction houses raked in near to GBP 14.1 million, with more than 90% of lots sold at each session.
