PR88502
Artmarket.com publishes Artprice 2020 Art Market Report highlighting a veritable paradigm shift: the pandemic imposed an unprecedented digitization of the market... that saved auction turnovers.
PARIS, March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Our 23rd Annual Art Market Report offers a global analysis of public sales of
Fine Art – painting, sculpture, drawing, photographs, prints, installations –
between 1 January and 31 December 2020.
What was, at one point, anticipated as a 'blank year' for the Art Market,
turned out to be much more positive than expected. The cancellation of fairs,
exhibitions and all sales in March 2020 prompted fears of a complete shutdown
of the art industry. But unlike museums, which have suffered the full impact of
covid-related restrictions, the auction houses quickly found ways to preserve
the core of their activities thanks to the dematerialization via digital
technology: versus 2019, they maintained 79% of their turnover and sold a
volume of lots equivalent to 91% of the previous year's total.

Thierry Ehrmann, President and Founder of Artmarket.com and its Artprice
department, is pleased to announce the free publication of the 23rd Annual Art
Market Report (2020):
"The pandemic which took the world by surprise has forced Art Market
professionals to accelerate a digitization process that they had been
procrastinating for too long. Twelve months ago, this industry still showed a
certain resistance to anything related to digital culture, which resulted in a
reluctance to implement effective IT tools. In contrast to this delay, which
has left much of the art sector almost thirty years behind the rest of the
economy, Artprice has never stopped innovating and preparing the ground for the
inevitable future.
So it is with much enthusiasm – despite the situation – that our group has
supported all the key actors of the Art Market to take on a historic
challenge... to repair in just a few months (sometimes even just a few weeks)
three decades of obstinacy".
Art Market 2.0
The Art Market has adopted a new economic model and reached a new equilibrium
that the most optimistic projections were not expecting to see before 2025. It
is now much better equipped to work with contemporary ways of living and
collecting, i.e. those of the 21st century.
With this 23rd Annual Report, Artprice and its editorial partner Artron are
proud to provide a global analysis of this paradigm through a focus on the
following questions:
- How has the pandemic impacted the art market?
- How has digital technology affected the market and what will tomorrow's
market look like?
- Why has China's market resisted so well?
- How have collectors reacted?
- What types of works are most in-demand?
- Which artists have reached records despite the crisis?
- How have social-cultural upheavals – from #MeToo to Black Lives Matter –
impacted the Art Market?
The report also contains Artprice's famous Top-500 ranking of the world's most
sought-after artists and a month-by-month breakdown of the highlights of the
art market in 2020 as it struggled to meet the unprecedented challenges
prompted by the health crisis.
China in pole position
The report underscores the place China now holds on the global Art Market: that
of the most serious competitor to the United States. Although the Chinese art
market has its own codes, it is more interesting for that reason and it makes
for a particularly substantial and fascinating editorial partnership between
Artprice and Artron.

Looking at our other key market indicators, the Artprice100© benchmark index
has increased by +405% since 1 January 2000. In 2020, this blue-chip artists
index posted an increase of +1.8%.
Contemporary Art, both in the West and in Asia, is still the locomotive of the
Art Market, despite the pandemic context.
In sum, despite a global tragedy that is unique in social and modern economic
history, the Art Market has rebounded via digital technology, which it has
massively adopted within a record time and which has allowed the market's
turnover contraction to be limited to just -21%, which in itself – given the
circumstances – is a superb performance.
