Despite a 3% decline in sales, the art dealer sector navigated 2023 with resilience, facing political and economic challenges. Smaller dealers thrived with an 11% turnover increase, while larger dealers saw a 7% decline. In-person sales accounted for 44% of transactions, highlighting a shift back to direct gallery sales. Representation of female artists rose to 40%, and the average number of represented artists increased significantly. However, rising costs and variable demand affected profitability, with only 29% of dealers reporting increased profits. The art fair landscape also showed signs of recovery with 359 fairs held in 2023. #ArtDealers #ArtMarket #ArtSales #ArtIndustry #Artists #FemaleArtists #ArtRepresentation #ArtFairs #GallerySales #ArtMarketTrends #ArtBusiness #ArtInvestment #DealerSector #ArtWorld #ArtMarketInsights #ArtTrends #ArtBaselReport
