100 Top Rank Fine Art Artist list

How well did Contemporary art sell at 2013 ?

Today Contemporary art represents big business for auction operators; at the end of 2011, young artists – i.e. born after 1945 – became a more profitable segment than Old Masters, generating 11% of total global auction revenue compared with less than 4% just ten years earlier.

With nearly € 860 m in total global auction revenue from Contemporary art over the latest 12-month period

there is a drop in revenue (roughly -6%) for an equivalent number of works sold is nothing alarming and 2011/2012 stands out as the third best performance in the history of the Contemporary art market, behind the peak of the bubble 2007/2008 (€ 976.9 m) .
