According to estimates Artprice, 2013 was the best in the history of world art market by revenue (over $ 12 billion ) and the best for an individual auction House : for the entire 247- year history of Christie's such a successful year, he did not have . Also, set a new absolute record auction price for a work of art - $ 127 million ( for the "Triptych with Lusien Freud " brush Francis Bacon ) . Artprice report was compiled based on data from 4,500 auction houses worldwide. All figures do not include the buyer's commission Buyer's Premium and therefore may differ from other data in the materials ARTinvestment.RU.
annual auction turnover of the entire world of the art market in 2013 reached a record 12,005 billion dollars . This is 13 %more than in 2012 ( $ 10.6 billion ) , and 2.3%more than in 2011 ( 11.78 billion dollars). Those who regularly monitors the ratings Artprice, can confuse the discrepancy in the final figures for 2012 . In a review last year was published figure 12.269 billion, which is clearly larger than the above 10 6 billion. For a particularly meticulous readers an explanation of the discrepancies . Collecting statistics in 2012 , Artprice used the services of the Chinese news agency Art Market Monitor of Artron (AMMA). Unlike Artprice, AMMA was taking into account the results of the auction not only established authors , but also works by unknown artists. Hence the increase in the bottom line. If only use auction statistics Artprice, recorded exclusively copyrighted works , the annual turnover in 2012 will be the ones $ 10.6 billion .
Chinese art market in 2013 again won the first place in the world in terms of sales . Yes, the art market in China still occur speculation and price gouging . But despite the fact that some modern artists in their time soaring too high, eventually plummeted in price, many of their contemporaries continued slowly but surely go up. And it is for anyone not to worry , it's generally accepted in the Chinese masters of the nineteenth - XX centuries : depreciation them exactly is not threatened. Annual turnover of the art market China rose 21 %to $ 4.1 billion . Quite a bit inferior to the U.S. - $ 4 billion turnover and a 20%annual increase . Closes the three leaders of the art market in Britain - 2.1 billion. Next come France, Germany , Switzerland and Italy .
