Christie's opened theirs was not a strong sale, yet still sold 70% by lot and 71% by value. The following night Sothebys sold 85% by lot and 93% by value. An exceptional result. As the Baer report put it: 'cash is no longer king and that commodities like art are a place that wealthy people are returning to place money'. http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=37 Mon, 9 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT The market is slowly awakening from the long summer. Galleries are all open again and good exhibitions will start at the end of the month, although the real auction season doesn't start until mid October. http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=36 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT Despite prophesies, starting in the summer of 2008, of its impending demise, the art market is certainly still 'alive', although for sure not as 'kicking' as it was 18 months ago. The results of the New York auctions in May were solid, and improved in the London sales in late June when over 80% sold in the Impressionist and Modern sales, and in the Contemporary sales an astonishing 86% sold by lot at Christies and 97% at Sotheby's. http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=32 Mon, 8 Jun 2009 00:00:00 GMT
