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

🎨✨ [HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SOME GALLERIES ARE MORE FAMOUS THAN THE ARTISTS THEY EXHIBIT? 🙃] Art galleries are often the real stepping stones for emerging artists. This makes it so that, in the art scene, galleries have an established history and an impressive reputation, sometimes making them more famous than the artists themselves. Moreover, in an ever-changing art market, they are always looking for new and compelling offerings, both local and global. Some might compare art to music, suggesting that everything has already been done. But I believe in the power of human genius to constantly create and innovate. We cannot, however, ignore the financial aspect. Money plays a significant role and, at times, can turn the art market into a ground for unhealthy speculation. This is where the need for in-depth knowledge of the market, its mechanisms and dynamics comes in. It is crucial to protect investors from scams and harmful speculation, and this can only be accomplished through a solid understanding of the industry. So, yes, it is true that some galleries may be more celebrated than the artists they represent. But this should not obscure the beauty and importance of art itself, nor weaken confidence in its transformative and inspiring power. What do you think? 🖼️💡 #art #artmarket #galleries #artists #market knowledge

With Greater China being the second most important art market, accounting for 19% of global fine art sales, it is no surprise that all eyes were on Hong Kong for the Art Basel Hong Kong fair, the most important Asian art fair of the year. While the mood is certainly not as ecstatic as several years ago due to current economic issues in Mainland China, many of the largest international galleries and auction houses keep expanding in Hong Kong which is a testament to the growing, long-term importance of Asia in general and China in particular to the global art market. #diversification #artinvesting #artinvestment #alternativeassets
Art Basel Hong Kong took place during the last week of March for the first time in its regular setting after four years of restrictive health and safety regulations. Finally allowed to return to its old scale, Art Basel Hong Kong hosted 242 galleries from 40 different territories, reassuring collectors that the most important annual meeting for art collectors in Asia continues to be in Hong Kong. Read our short report on this year’s Art Basel Hong Kong including some of our painting highlights that were displayed and sold at the fair. #arteducation #artinvesting #artinvestment #artfairs #artbasel

Art Strategist | Contemporary Art | Collection Acquisitions | Aesthetics Research | Visual Perception
Broadly speaking, this is how art is sold. 1. Direct Sales. When the artist sells the work to a collector directly out of their studio. 2. Galleries. Generally, galleries represent artists within a niche. They can be physical or online galleries. They sell the work to their clients, and take a percentage from that sale. I think art advisors can loosely fall under this category because they work similarly. 3. Auction Houses. Here’s where competitive bidding for art happens. The highest bidder takes home the prize. #artsales #artcollecting #artworld #artadvisor #artgallery #auctionhouse
