Artprice.com va s’appeler Artmarket.com pour être l’acteur global du Marché de l’Art à son AGE du 30 septembre 2019

2019/09/09 tehrmann Laisser un commentaire

Artprice.com change de dénomination sociale en artmarket.com avec modification statutaire et extension de l’objet social à son AGE du 30 septembre 2019. thierry Ehrmann, Président et Fondateur d’Artprice : « Cette AGE du 30.09.2019 s’apparente bel et bien à une IPO. En effet Artmarket.com va permettre d’embraser le Marché de l’Art dans sa totalité. »

En effet, le 8 août 2019 s’est tenu le Conseil d’Administration d’Artprice validant le rétro planning conduisant à l’AGE le 30 Septembre 2019 à 17h pour l’approbation définitive de la stratégie globale Art Market.

Après validation et concernant la future cotation boursière sur Euronext, les actionnaires d’Artprice.com deviendront automatiquement actionnaires d’Artmarket.com sans aucun impact sur le nombre de titres détenus et leurs droits attachés. De même le code mnémonique PRC est conservé pour ne pas perturber nos actionnaires, le marché et les banques.

A ce titre, la marque Artprice mondialement connue depuis plus de 20 ans demeure la marque de référence pour Artmarket.com concernant le très rentable département des banques de données sur les prix et les indices de l’art.

Une des principales extensions logiques face à l’état de la science est de d’étendre l’objet social à l’analyse et le traitement de métadonnées sur le Marché de l’Art pour son compte ou le compte de tiers.

thierry Ehrmann : « Artprice a fêté récemment ses 20 ans. Ce temps était nécessaire pour faire d’Artprice le Leader Mondial de l’Information sur le Marché de l’Art, tel que décrit dans le prospectus d’IPO de 1999. »

20 ans après, de manière unanime, les agences de presse, la presse écrite et audio-visuelle, les acteurs économiques et financiers, les acteurs du Marché de l’Art et les institutionnels, reconnaissent Artprice de manière incontestable comme Leader Mondial de l’Information sur le Marché de l’Art.

L’Histoire n’est pas terminée, bien au contraire. Artprice va devenir Artmarket.com pour conquérir la place d’acteur global dans une décennie où le monde par l’aboutissement de la révolution numérique, va vivre un changement radical de paradigme.

Ce changement de nom historique va permettre d’englober définitivement le Marché de l’Art dans son ensemble et ne plus se cantonner au seul secteur des « prix de l’Art » qui est un sous-ensemble du Marché de l’Art.

C’est la même démarche entreprise avec succès par Google qui est devenu Alphabet pour ne pas être réduit au seul secteur des moteurs de recherches.

thierry Ehrmann : « Artmarket.com va propulser notre savoir-faire, notre contenu et nos marques comme jamais une entité opérant sur le Marché de l’Art ne pourra le faire, grâce notamment à l’indexation naturelle sur les moteurs de recherches mondiaux de tout contenu relatif au Marché de l’Art, dont la traduction est Art Market en langue anglaise qui est la langue propre au Marché de l’Art dans tous les pays. »

« C’est un choc boursier et économique majeur car Artprice bientôt Artmarket, après l’OPR de Sotheby’s, reste la seule société du Marché de l’Art à être cotée sur un marché règlementé dans le monde.»

Artprice a pu acquérir en son temps les DNS les plus prestigieux et puissants que sont artmarket.com .net et .org qui absorbent le plus légalement des millions de requêtes/mois sur la demande générique « Art Market » sur Google.com.

Artmarket.com est n°1 sur 4,3 milliards de résultats sur la requête Art Market sur google.com (Constat d’huissier SCP Pons-Mergui). A titre de comparaison, la requête Artprice sur Google.com aboutit à 2,5 millions de résultats, avec bien sûr en n°1 artprice.com.

Artmarket.com .net .org sont donc l’atout maître sur Internet pour capter le Marché de l’Art Mondial.

L’actif incorporel unique du nom de domaine artmarket.com pourrait être estimé autour de 120 millions de dollars (méthodologie et analyse) voir le communiqué à consulter ci-dessous.

De plus, Art Market est le titre universel depuis l’après-guerre que reprennent à 100% tous les journaux économiques financiers et artistiques pour parler du Marché de l’Art comme le Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The New York Times, Bloomberg, Reuters, The Art Newspaper, The Guardian, BBC, CNN, Euronews, AFP, Yahoo! Finance, Cision (PR Newswire), etc…

Artmarket.com ouvre en grand les portes du futur, qui ne peut être que 100% numérique au moment de la concentration du secteur économique du Marché de l’Art avec l’Internet mobile (4,5 milliards de smartphones et la 5G déjà opérationnelle). Cet électrochoc numérique se traduit économiquement et scientifiquement par Artmarket.com avec une avance considérable grâce à sa R&D.

Artprice, labellisée par le BPI pour la deuxième fois en novembre 2018, développe son projet de Blockchain sur le Marché de l’Art où Artmarket aura toute capacité par l’extension de ses statuts à la commercialiser.

Ce nom générique et universel Artmarket.com agira puissamment comme vecteur de changement de périmètre économique, d’opérations capitalistiques et de toute IPO sur d’autres places boursières, en excluant toute augmentation de capital.

thierry Ehrmann : « Ce changement de dénomination sociale hautement significatif incarne plus que tout, le nouveau départ de notre Histoire unique en son genre. Cela marque notre volonté d’être désormais un acteur global du Marché de l’Art, avec de nombreux projets, ce qui aurait été très présomptueux de notre part au début de notre parcours en 1997. »

« Je remercie nos collaborateurs pour leur travail et leur persévérance et nos actionnaires pour leur confiance au cours de ces années. Mon souhait est que chacun puisse désormais participer pleinement à l’aboutissement de notre projet d’acteur global du Marché de l’Art qui se symbolise par notre nouvelle dénomination sociale Artmarket.com ».

Ce changement de dénomination sociale n’impacte pas bien évidemment nos clients avec un accès inchangé à nos services et nos données.

L’événement clé de l’année 2019 de l’OPR spectaculaire de Sotheby’s est la confirmation d’un carnet de commandes sur 3 ans minimum pour Artmarket.com, qui a absorbé la célèbre SSII Xylogic Suisse détenant le portefeuille des grandes Maisons de Ventes, d’où la cohérence du changement de dénomination sociale et de l’extension des statuts.

Cette OPR validée brillamment jeudi dernier par l’AGE de Sotheby’s est la confirmation pour Artprice qui devient Artmarket.com dans son rôle d’acteur global du Marché de l’Art. En effet le Groupe va accompagner par ses solutions informatiques on line la dématérialisation des 6300 Maisons de Ventes dans le monde partenaires d’Artprice qui sont déjà connectées à l’Intranet d’Artmarket.com.

thierry Ehrmann : « Le rachat de Sotheby’s avec une prime de 61 % par Patrick Drahi valide l’entrée du Marché de l’Art dans l’ère numérique du XXIème siècle, car Artprice a toujours souligné que ce secteur économique qui pèse environ 90 milliards de dollars, avait plusieurs décennies de retard en matière de culture du numérique et de l’Internet ».

Artprice by Art Market: Top 10 auction gains in H1 2019

2019/09/02 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

The resale of artworks illustrates the financial potential of Art, a potential that depends on numerous factors including the artists’ notoriety, the intrinsic qualities of the works and, of course, the intensity of demand over time. While the average return on art investments is approximately 4.6% p.a. for an average duration of 13 years, certain works obviously generate much better returns, especially in the Contemporary Art segment.

For thierry Ehrmann, Founder/CEO of Artprice: “the most profitable artists on the Art Market are no longer the great Moderns, as in the last century. Major buyers have transferred their investments onto the most recognised Contemporary artists – onto the great “classics” of our era – artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Yayoi Kusama who now represent a sort of holy grail for any museum or any major collector and who are enjoying ever-growing and ever more international demand. The Contemporary Art Market offers opportunities for capital gains that were unimaginable 20 years ago.”

Contemporary Art Generates the Best Returns

Contemporary creation is today more profitable than Post-War art. There is only one Western Post-War artist among the top 10 gains hammered during the first six months of 2019: Alexander Calder, with a rare mobile sculpture (Fish), the price of which has risen from less than $200,000 to more than $17.5 million since the end of the 1980s. Contemporary artists are clearly dominant in the rankings. They account for seven of the ten best gains hammered during the period and concern works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Daniel Buren, Yayoi Kusama, Pierre Soulages and Christopher Wool. Contemporary Art (the overall price index of which rose 40% in H1 2019) is the most profitable segment of the Art Market. The prices of certain works have been multiplied in range from 30 to more than 300 times versus their previous auction values.

Long holding

The volatility of the Contemporary Art market makes it particularly favourable for certain types of investment. It allows quick gains (with holding times of three to ten years) on some highly popular signatures such as Kaws, George Condo and Sean Scully. Of course, rapid turnarounds on art are not risk-free, particularly on the younger signatures and it is probably wiser to gamble on artists whose work and whose secondary market are both mature.

Moreover, the most profitable resales require a lot of patience with the best gains coming from long-term holding periods. The most spectacular price increases concerned works sold publicly in the 1980s and 1990s and which are now returning to auction. Eight of the ten best gains in our ranking concern works that began to be sold publicly more than 20 years ago.

The biggest price increase concerns a work by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Apex, which had not been auctioned for 31 years (it changed owner three times during that time, but privately). Apex is a major work, first appearing at auction in June 1988, two months before the artist’s death. Regarded as one of his best paintings, it fetched $29,400 in 1988, joining the artist’s top 10 results. The posthumous growth of his prices had not started yet. It was only three years after Basquiat’s death that one of his works crossed the $100,000 threshold for the first time, blithely tripling its high estimate (Red rabbit, 1982, on 11 November 1988 at Sotheby’s). When it was offered to the public last March, Apex fetched $10.8 million, posting an exceptional gain of +36,685% in 31 years.

Remember that Jean-Michel Basquiat is the first and only Contemporary artist whose work has crossed the $100 million threshold on the auction market (Untitled, 1982, on 18 May 2017 at Sotheby’s New York). This pillar of the Contemporary Art Market – whose overall price index has risen +1,608% since 2000 – accounts for three of the top ten most profitable resales since the beginning of the year.

Two living French artists among the most profitable

Two French artists still active today, Pierre Soulages and Daniel Buren, stand out thanks to the opening of the International Market. They are among the very rare Contemporary French artists who have managed to build a reputation and a price structure outside France, especially in New York from where both have hammered their personal records ($10.6 million obtained for Soulages in November 2018 at Christie’s and $2.1 million for Buren last May at the same auctioneer). Soulages’ abstract style and Buren’s minimalist style correspond to two trends that are both currently highly sought–after on the American art market.

The value added to Daniel Buren’s Peinture acrylique blanche sur tissu rayé blanc rouge (1968) is particularly noteworthy. The price of this work has multiplied 102 times in 22 years – the time it took for demand to consolidate abroad. Until recently, most of Buren’s high-quality works sold badly in the Big Apple… when they were not bought in.

In addition, Peinture acrylique blanche sur tissu rayé blanc rouge was auctioned at the right time, while Daniel Buren was installing a monumental work on the High Line in New York. The artist has signed the Big Apple by floating thousands of flags over New Yorkers, flags bearing the 8.7-cm-wide colored stripes that are so characteristic of his work (exhibition En Plein Air visible until March 2020). An ideal piece of artistic ‘news’ to convince New Yorkers to buy the French veteran of Minimalism.

As with the stock markets, investments in art require a permanent follow-up from collectors of the news concerning the artists in the portfolios. The construction, maintenance and inflation of an artist’s prices depends primarily, as with equity markets, on information. It is information which allows us to select the most opportune moment for a resale and the best-suited marketplace to ensure the best possible added value.

Artprice by Art Market: les 10 meilleures plus-values au S1 2019 face aux taux négatifs ou voisins de zéro

2019/09/02 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Les cas de reventes aux enchères démontrent le potentiel financier de l’Art en fonction de la notoriété des artistes, des qualités intrinsèques des œuvres et bien sûr, d’une demande variable au cours du temps. Si le rendement annuel moyen de l’Art atteint +4,6%, pour une durée moyenne de 13 ans, certaines œuvres constituent des investissements beaucoup plus compétitifs, notamment sur le segment contemporain.

Pour thierry Ehrmann, Président et Fondateur d’Artprice: « les artistes les plus rentables du Marché ne sont plus les grands modernes comme au siècle dernier. Les grands acheteurs ont reporté leurs investissements sur les contemporains les mieux établis, sur les grands « classiques » de notre époque. Des artistes aussi fondamentaux que Jean-Michel Basquiat ou Yayoi Kusama, qui constituent un graal pour tout musée et pour tout grand collectionneur, font face à une demande de plus en plus forte et internationale. Cette création contemporaine est propice aux meilleurs investissements. Elle offre des possibilités de plus-values encore inimaginables il y a 20 ans.«

L’Art Contemporain génère les meilleures plus-values

La création contemporaine surpasse aujourd’hui les qualités financières de l’Art d’Après-Guerre. Seul un artiste occidental de la période d’Après-Guerre se retrouve dans le top 10 des plus-values enregistrées au S1 2019: Alexander Calder, avec une rare sculpture mobile (Fish), dont le prix est passé de moins de 200.000$ à plus de 17,5m$ depuis la fin des années 80. Les artistes contemporains sont nettement prédominants dans le classement. C’est à eux que l’on doit sept des dix meilleurs cas de reventes obtenus sur le premier semestre 2019, avec des œuvres de Jean-Michel Basquiat, Daniel Buren, Yayoi Kusama, Pierre Soulages et Christopher Wool. L’Art Contemporain (dont l’indice des prix est en hausse de +40% sur le S1 2019) est le segment le plus rentable du Marché de l’Art. Le prix de certaines œuvres a été multiplié par 30, 35, voire par plus de 300 entre deux passages aux enchères.

La détention longue

La volatilité du Marché de l’Art Contemporain est particulièrement propice aux investissements. Elle permet des gains rapides (sur des durées de détention de trois à dix ans) pour certaines signatures très en vogue comme Kaws, George Condo ou Sean Scully. Bien sûr, ces allers-retours rapides aux enchères ne sont pas sans prise de risque concernant les plus jeunes signatures, et il est préférable de miser sur des artistes dont l’œuvre et le second Marché sont tous deux arrivés à maturité.

Les reventes les plus fructueuses sont d’ailleurs affaire de patience et les plus belles prises de valeur se traduisent sur le long terme. Les progressions de prix les plus spectaculaires concernent en effet des œuvres passées en ventes publiques dans les années 80 et 90, et qui repassent à présent en salles. Huit des dix plus-values les plus remarquables de l’année récompensent ainsi des œuvres qui ont commencé à se vendre aux enchères il y a plus de 20 ans.

L’inflation de prix le plus exceptionnel concerne une œuvre Jean-Michel Basquiat, Apex, qui n’avait pas été revue aux enchères pendant 31 ans (elle a changé trois fois de propriétaire entre temps mais en restant dans le circuit privé). Apex est une œuvre majeure, apparue pour la première fois aux enchères en juin 1988, soit deux mois avant la mort de l’artiste. Considérée comme l’une de ses meilleures toiles, elle partait, en 1988, pour 29.400$, intégrant à l’époque le top 10 des meilleures adjudications de l’artiste. La croissance post-mortem des prix n’avait pas encore commencé. Ce n’est que trois ans après la mort de Basquiat que l’une de ses œuvres passait pour la première fois les 100.000$, en triplant allègrement son estimation haute (Red rabbit, 1982, le 11 novembre 1988 chez Sotheby’s). Lors de son dernier passage sous le feu des enchères en mars dernier, Apex s’est arrachée pour 10,8m$, affichant une plus-value exceptionnelle de +36.685% en 31 ans.

Rappelons que Jean-Michel Basquiat est le premier et l’unique artiste contemporain dont une oeuvre a dépassé les 100m$ aux enchères (Untitled, 1982, le 18 mai 2017 chez Sotheby’s New York). Ce pilier du Marché de l’Art Contemporain – dont l’indice général des prix a progressé de +1.608% depuis 2000 – revient à trois reprises parmi les dix cas de reventes les plus fructueux depuis le début de l’année.

Deux artistes français encore en activité, Pierre Soulages et Daniel Buren, se démarquent grâce à l’ouverture du Marché international. Ils comptent parmi les rares artistes contemporains français parvenus à se faire un nom et une cote en dehors de l’Hexagone, notamment à New York d’où ils tirent, chacun, leur record personnel (10,6m$ obtenus pour Soulages en novembre 2018 chez Christie’s et 2,1m$ pour Buren en mai dernier chez la même maison de ventes). Le style abstrait de Soulages et celui, minimaliste, de Buren correspondent à deux tendances actuellement fortement recherchées sur le Marché de l’Art américain.

La plus-value emportée par Peinture acrylique blanche sur tissu rayé blanc rouge (1968) de Daniel Buren est particulièrement remarquable. Le prix de cette œuvre a été multiplié par 102 en 22 ans, autant d’années nécessaires pour que la demande se consolide à l’étranger. La plupart des œuvres de qualité de Buren se vendaient mal jusque là à New York, lorsqu’elles n’étaient pas tout simplement ravalées.

Par ailleurs, la Peinture acrylique blanche sur tissu rayé blanc rouge est passée aux enchères au bon moment, alors que Daniel Buren installait une oeuvre monumentale sur la High Line de New York. L’artiste a signé la Grosse Pomme, en faisant flotter au-dessus des New-yorkais des milliers de drapeaux portant ces rayures colorées de 8,7 cm qui lui sont si caractéristiques (exposition En Plein air visible jusqu’en mars 2020). Une actualité idéale pour convaincre les New-yorkais d’acheter le vétéran français du Minimalisme.

Comme pour les marchés d’actions, l’Art demande un suivi permanent de la part du collectionneur concernant l’actualité des artistes. La construction d’une cote repose avant tout, comme pour les marchés d’actions, sur l’information. C’est elle qui permet de saisir le moment le plus opportun pour une revente et la place de marché la mieux adaptée à la réalisation de la meilleure plus-value possible.

(Addendum Artmarket.com) L’actif incorporel unique du nom de domaine artmarket.com pourrait être estimé autour de 120 millions de dollars

2019/07/25 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

thierry Ehrmann : « Comme nous l’avons précédemment publié en information réglementée, Artmarket.com est n°1 sur 3,6 milliards de résultats pour la requête « Art Market » sur Google.com (Constat d’huissier SCP Pons-Mergui). (https://www.actusnews.com/fr/ARTPRICE/cp/2019/07/09/artprice_com-va-s_appeler-artmarket_com-pour-devenir-un-acteur-global-du-marche-de-l_art)

La traduction de « Marché de l’Art » est « Art Market » en langue anglaise qui est la langue propre au Marché de l’Art dans tous les pays. Le DNS artmarket.com est incontournable et il absorbe le plus légalement, les millions de requêtes entrantes par mois sur la demande générique « Art Market » sur Google.com. Nous possédons aussi les DNS artmarket.net, .org, .eu (.eu domaine de premier niveau générique pour désigner l’Europe) mais également art-market.com, art-market.net et art-market.org et bien entendu artmarket.art. »

Le second marché des noms de domaine (DNS) est en pleine expansion depuis plus de 25 ans. Rien d’étonnant à cela, car c’est par le DNS qu’on accède à un secteur économique tout entier. C’est notre cas avec le DNS Artmarket.com, dans l’économie désormais numérique du Marché de l’Art. Les acteurs de l’économie traditionnelle ont bien compris, au fur et à mesure de l’expansion de l’économie numérique qui compte 4,5 milliards de consommateurs en ligne, la prépondérance et le caractère essentiel que revêt le nom de domaine dans la captation des flux mondiaux liés à l’appellation d’un secteur économique. Le Marché de l’Art est proche de 90 milliards de dollars par an.

Voici, à titre de comparaison, deux exemples significatifs de prix de vente de noms de domaine génériques (1):

– business.com a été vendu 345 millions de dollars. Après une âpre bataille entre le New York Times et le Dow Jones, surprise, c’est finalement RH Donnelly une des 500 plus grandes fortunes du Monde qui a remporté la mise.

– lasvegas.com est parti à 90 millions de dollars. A noter que l’acheteur est le même propriétaire que vegas.com.

Chacun sait désormais que la recherche effectuée par les 4,5 milliards d’internautes sur les moteurs de recherche se caractérise par la requête du nom générique qui définit la cible exacte de leurs recherches.

C’est le cas pour entre autres business.com, lasvegas.com, aluminium.com (Alcoa), scotch.com (Diageo) et donc artmarket.com, avec un taux de satisfaction proche de 100%.

En effet, les algorithmes des grands moteurs de recherche comme Google ont inclus en pertinence de niveau 1 le fait stratégique que les grands acteurs de l’ancienne économie ont systématiquement acheté les génériques décrivant leur cœur de métier et leur permettant ainsi de combler leur handicap pour rester Leaders mondiaux de leur secteur dans l’économie numérique qui est devenue l’économie du 21ème siècle.

Il existe une multitude d’exemples frappants qui démontrent la pertinence indéniable de la détention des noms de domaine génériques en .com. Les plus grands groupes de la planète ont éprouvé le besoin d’acquérir des DNS génériques pour capter les recherches des 4,5 milliards d’internautes (2).

A noter que le .com est devenu la référence absolue dans l’économique numérique, avec une hégémonie captant plus de 80% des requêtes mondiales.

Alcoa, géant de l’aluminium, est propriétaire du DNS aluminium.com

Avis Budget, location de véhicules, détient autorental.com, rentalcar.com

Diageo, n°1 mondial sur le marché des alcools et spiritueux, possède malts.com, rum.com, scotch.com

Disney détient family.com, go.com, kid.com, video.com

Citibank détient Finance.com, Mortgage.com

Xerox détient ColorPrinters.com, Documents.com

Winchester détient Ammunition.com

Weather Channel détient Weather.com

Viacom International Inc. détient Film.com

Nestle détient Meals.com

Procter and Gamble détient DentalCare.com, Laundry.com, Nails.com,

Knorr détient Soup.com

Lexis Nexis détient Lawyers.com

JP Morgan Chase détient BestMarkets.com

Health Magazine/Time Inc. détient Health.com

CNN/Time Inc. détient Money.com

Barnes and Noble détient Book.com, Books.com

La liste des DNS génériques que possède GlaxoSmithKline, l’un des dix géants de l’industrie pharmaceutique mondiale, est impressionnante et significative des enjeux liés aux noms de domaine génériques : asthma.com, asthmaControl.com, bipolar.com, coldSore.com, depression.com, diabetes.com, heartburn.com, heartHealth.com, helix.com, osteoporosis.com, reflux.com, restlessLegs.com, skinInfection.com, sleeplessness.com, toothBrush.com

Getty Images, célèbre agence de photographie et banque d’images américaine, est propriétaire de photos.com

« Imaginons également un seul instant le trésor de guerre que serait pour Christie’s, Sotheby’s récemment acheté par P. Drahi, (entrepreneur possédant des sociétés de télécom et des Networks à travers le monde), Phillips ou encore Artron, China Guardian, Poly Auction Intl., que de posséder le nom de domaine artmarket.com ou d’être licencié du nom de domaine générique artmarket.com.

Nul doute que l’acquéreur ou le licencié prendrait immédiatement l’avantage sur les autres acteurs du Marché de l’Art de manière définitive sur un marché estimé de près de 90 milliards de dollars par an. »

Nous estimons donc, étant donné les enjeux du Marché de l’Art dans le monde, tant au niveau des flux financiers générés que de la notoriété du DNS Artmarket.com, que la valorisation du nom de domaine artmarket.com, avec la méthode des comparables, s’établirait raisonnablement autour de 120 millions de dollars, soit 100 millions d’euros environ.

Ce communiqué doit être considéré comme purement indicatif et ne constitue pas à ce jour un élément juridique ou comptable pour le groupe Artprice.

Cependant, dans le cadre de la transparence et de l’équité de l’information et compte tenu des nouvelles stratégies d’Artprice dans le cadre de l’AGE qui devrait entériner le changement de dénomination sociale ainsi que les modifications statutaires, Artprice produira un projet d’estimation construit à partir d’un marché liquide et efficient, existant depuis près de 20 ans avec une construction économique fiable et pérenne du prix des noms de domaine génériques par des acteurs notoirement et nommément connus.

Ce marché des noms de domaine génériques est parfaitement apte à être appréhendé par la méthode des comparables, dans le cadre d’une expertise ou d’une analyse indépendante qui serait parfaitement appropriée pour déterminer la valeur marchande aux conditions de l’offre et de la demande du marché mondial des DNS à caractère générique.

Il est donc dans l’ordre du possible qu’Artprice puisse, avec le DNS artmarket.com, céder, amener comme actif incorporel notamment dans le projet d’une IPO, ou licencier un tiers, sur la base d’une valeur proche de 120 millions de dollars.

Artprice avertit son actionnariat et le marché que son analyse est basée entre autres sur les normes IFRS, notamment l’IAS38.

Dans le cadre des nouvelles stratégies développées par le groupe, le DNS artmarket.com devra être considéré comme un actif immatériel identifiable et pouvant être détaché, générateur d’avantages économiques futurs, se comportant comme un actif de façon fiable qui n’est pas limité par un cycle industriel et possédant une juste valeur de son actif au regard d’un marché efficient, liquide et structuré.

Enfin, une somme d’informations conséquentes est d’ores et déjà disponible dans le document de référence d’Artprice 2018 déposé le 25 Juin 2019 à l’AMF.

Artprice procède sur une longue période à une analyse méticuleuse des documents de référence, de l’information réglementée ainsi que les bilans des sociétés du S&P500, afin d’analyser le coût des acquisitions et leur traitement en tant qu’actifs incorporels. Il en ressort, en première lecture, une politique d’acquisition des DNS génériques à un coût très élevé mais parfaitement justifiée au regard des flux entrants spontanés des moteurs de recherches.

Le contexte actuel mondial, comme indiqué par Artprice ces derniers mois, avec notamment l’OPR de Sotheby’s par un acteur du numérique, oblige le Marché de l’Art à récupérer son retard pénalisant sur la culture du numérique et son lourd handicap vis-à-vis d’Internet.

Pour combler ces lacunes, la stratégie d’acquisition ou de concession de noms de domaine génériques décrivant l’activité du Marché de l’Art paraît la plus pertinente. En effet, le Marché de l’Art, pour sa remise à niveau, va devoir intégrer les technologies telles que la Blockchain, le Big Data, l’Internet mobile et notamment la 5G, l’IA qui, à ce jour, sont parfaitement maîtrisées par Artprice et sa R&D.

The Guggenheim, the Louvre, the Pompidou Center and now ArtMarket all possess a “.art” generic top-level domain (gTLD) !

2019/07/21 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

thierry Ehrmann: “We are also very pleased to inform shareholders and investors that we now possess artmarket.art, which has already been deployed by our IT department. This acquisition involved several quarters of intense legal and administrative red tape with the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) and the TMCH (TradeMark ClearingHouse).

This is the same strategy adopted by all of the world’s major art institutions, including the Guggenheim, the Louvre and the Pompidou Center, along with an impressive list of museums that have played a key role in art history.

Since our press release Artprice.com is changing its name to Artmarket.com to become a global player in the Art Market posted on July 9, 2019 (follow this link:https://www.actusnews.com/fr/ARTPRICE/cp/2019/07/09/artprice_com-is-changing-its-name-to-artmarket_com-to-become-a-global-player-in-the-art-market) our Investor Relations department has received numerous questions from shareholders and institutions regarding the domain names we possess and our marketing position vis-à-vis Artprice.

This brief statement is intended to answer these questions. To achieve the getting of this extension .art, Artprice had to comply with a battery of draconian ICANN tests, including the requirement of owning our brand (without which applications to the ICANN are rejected). The “Sunrise Period” of domain registration is now over, so no further surprises are expected.”

A generic top-level domain (gTLD) is a type of top-level domain (TLD) maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use in the Internet’s domain name system.

A TLD is the extension at the end of a website address. In this case, “dot art” (.art) is a major asset for the key players in the art market. The ICANN, the organization that oversees Internet domain names, has developed draconian mechanisms to protect rights on new extensions and to preclude hacking risks.

However, this type of protection comes at a high price. In the digital economy, .art represents a powerful search-engine marketing tool to capture an even broader global audience. Concrete operational examples are louvre.art, guggemheim.art and centrepompidou.art.

thierry Ehrmann: “You don’t need an MBA to understand that this global network will inevitably contribute to our notoriety and the growth of our customer base.”

Very few groups like ours have a legal and IT department dedicated to the global watch of their brands and domain names. For our shareholders, this watch represents a guarantee and a very high level of legal security.”

thierry Ehrmann: “Artmarket.com is now the group’s flagship as we project our know-how, our content and our brands into the global market in a way no other entity operating on the Art Market can do. The new name will take full advantage of the natural indexing by global search engines of any content relating to the term “art market”.

Artprice.com shareholders will very shortly be invited to an EGM (within the legal deadlines) to approve this name change.

The Artprice brand – which has enjoyed global recognition for over 20 years – will remain the reference brand name for Artmarket.com in its highly profitable art prices /indices databanks activity.

After approval, shareholders of Artprice.com on Euronext will automatically become shareholders of Artmarket.com without any impact on the number of shares held or their attached rights.

English is the language most used by the art market all over the world.

Searches using the term “art market” on Google.com give Artmarket.com as the top result out of 3.6 billion results (Judicial Officer’s Report, SCP Pons-Mergui). By comparison, a search on Google.com using “Artprice” produces 2.5 million results, with, of course, artprice.com in first place.

To answer the questions we are currently receiving in all transparency, we acknowledge our legal possession of the domain names, artmarket.net, .org and .eu (.eu being the gTLD for Europe) as well as art-market.com, art-market.net and art-market.org which we acquired to preclude cybersquatting (the practice of registering a domain name corresponding to a trademark with the intention of subsequently reselling it to the trademark at a high price).

thierry Ehrmann: “Some new complementary and decisive information will be communicated in the Q2 release on the EGM (Extraordinary General Meeting) retroplanning which will endorse the change of artprice.com name to artmarket.com adding the new strategy artmarket.com to become a global player of the Art Market.”

Artprice: the digital revolution of the Art Market is now!

2019/07/11 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

The acquisition of Sotheby’s by the telecommunications and networks tycoon, Patrick Drahi, may be seen as the Art Market’s final acceptance of the digital era.

thierry Ehrmann, Artprice’s Founder and CEO, explains: “In 1998, François Pinault’s acquisition of Christie’s brought our industry into the ‘financial’ era. Twenty years later, its principal rival Sotheby’s is leading the ‘digital’ revolution. Fortunately, much of the groundwork has already been done: Artprice has long been a pioneering force in this colossal metamorphosis. Ten years ago, the famous art historian Raymonde Moulin said: “whether you like it or not, Artprice has irreversibly changed the structure of the Art Market that I have been studying for more than 50 years”.

There can be no doubt that the 61% premium offered to Sotheby’s shareholders reflects the immense economic potential of the Art Market, in which Sotheby’s is a key player. Patrick Drahi is not the only one to see this potential since, according to the New York Post, at least two other acquisition offers have already been made: one from Wall Street (initiated by Blackstone collector and CEO Stephen Schwarzman) and the other from Sotheby’s biggest shareholder, the Chinese company Taikang Asset Management.

The financialization of the Art Market has allowed the major transformation that we all know… with the arrival of new players, new strategies and new instruments. Sale guarantees, for example, have made it easier to secure the auction of masterpieces by reassuring sellers. These guaranteed minimum prices work a little like financial market derivatives: without taking the likeness too far, the guarantees may be compared with call options.

The next long-awaited step in the Art Market’s evolution is its dematerialization. In 2017, Sotheby’s eliminated buyer fees from its online sales … but five months later, it reintroduced them. Its financial performance was not strong enough to resist the pressure from shareholders who demanded better operating margins. The day after Sotheby’s announced its forthcoming delisting from the NYSE, the French version of The Art Newspaper ran the headline “Sotheby‘s regains its freedom… and its secrecy.”

In a context of negative or near-zero interest rates, the Art Market is more attractive than ever, with an average annual return +7% (Artprice100©).

Over the last two decades, the Art Market has gained enormously in efficiency. Admittedly, transaction costs are still high and numerous obstacles still hinder the free movement of artworks around the world; nevertheless, it has never been so fluid, or so global.

From the new record of $4 million recorded in Beijing for German artist Anselm Kiefer, to New York’s latest passion for Aboriginal art (with exhibitions at the Gagosian Gallery and MoMA PS1), the Art Market has liberated itself from geo-political borders.

Buyer preferences are obviously still subject to profound geographical influences, but the Art Market has no trouble taking them account. In 2015, Sotheby’s pulled the plug on its Middle East sales, preferring to hold an annual session dedicated to Middle-Eastern art in London. The operator knows that collectors from the Arabian Peninsula are perfectly happy to travel the 3250 miles that separates Doha from the British capital.

The Art Market is now ready for dematerialization… although compared to other economic segments it has a handicap of almost 30 years…

Nowadays, art amateurs, collectors, professionals and museums have access to lots of tools to help them manage their collections and their sales methods on the one hand, and to provide a global vision of the Art Market, at any time, on the other. Since 1987, Artprice has been a pioneer in this field and has developed – via the acquisition of the Swiss firm Xylogic (among others) – a complete set of decision-making tools that offer the best Art Market indicators available and reveal the latest trends in real-time. Crucially, they also allow the anticipation of price changes. Henceforth, the Art Market is now being analyzed and driven by Big Data, Data Mining, IE, AI and Blockchain. Artprice spends 80% of its expenses each year on R&D and has been awarded the Innovating Enterprise label by the French State’s innovation-supporting investment bank.

thierry Ehrmann again: “Our price indices – calculated using the infallible repeat sales method, epitomise the power of our data banks, providing a comprehensive, transparent and, above all, entirely objective coverage of public art sales art around the world”.

The arrival of Patrick Drahi at the helm of Sotheby’s undoubtedly marks the definitive transition of the Art Market to the digital era. Two statistics in particular illustrate the extraordinary growth of the Art Market: since the end of WWII the number of art consumers and collectors has grown from roughly half a million to approximately 90 million today. Likewise with the Museum Industry: more museums were built between 2000 and late 2014 than during the previous two centuries. This rhythm is continuing today with nearly 700 new museums a year – now on five continents – for the pleasure and cultural indulgence of art lovers all over the world.

Artprice : La révolution numérique du Marché de l’Art, c’est maintenant

2019/07/11 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

L’acquisition de Sotheby’s par le tycoon des télécommunications et networks, Patrick Drahi, sonne enfin l’entrée du Marché de l’Art dans l’ère du numérique.

thierry Ehrmann, Fondateur et Président d’Artprice, explique « En 1998, le rachat de Christie’s par François Pinault a fait entrer notre industrie dans l’ère de la finance. Vingt ans plus tard, c’est au tour de sa rivale Sotheby’s de mener la révolution numérique. Heureusement pour elle, le chantier est presque tout à fait terminé : Artprice a longuement œuvré en tant que pionnier à cette formidable métamorphose. Il y a dix ans déjà, la célèbre historienne d’art Raymonde Moulin affirmait : « que vous le vouliez ou non, Artprice a de manière irrémédiable modifié la structure du Marché de l’Art que j’étudie depuis plus de 50 ans ».

La prime d’achat de 61 % offerte aux actionnaires de Sotheby’s révèle bien une chose : l’immense potentiel économique du Marché de l’Art, dont Sotheby’s est un acteur incontournable. Un potentiel économique que Patrick Drahi n’est pas le seul à voir, puisque deux autres offres d’achat au moins auraient été déjà faites, révèle le New York Post. L’une en provenance de Wall Street (à l’initiative du collectionneur et PDG de Blackstone, Stephen Schwarzman), l’autre par le principal actionnaire de Sotheby’s, le chinois Taikang Asset Management.

La financiarisation du Marché de l’Art a permis la grande transformation que l’on connaît tous, avec l’arrivée de nouveaux acteurs, de nouvelles stratégies et de nouveaux instruments. Les garanties de ventes par exemple permettent de sécuriser l’adjudication de chefs-d’œuvre, et donc de rassurer les vendeurs. Ces prix minimums garantis ne sont pas sans rappeler à des produits dérivés sur les marchés financiers : les garanties pourraient donc – avec beaucoup de précautions – être comparées à des options d’achat.

L’étape suivante, tant attendue, est la dématérialisation du Marché de l’Art. En 2017, Sotheby’s a voulu faire décoller les ventes en ligne et a supprimé les frais acheteurs. Mais cinq mois plus tard, elle a fait machine arrière… Ses performances financières n’étaient pas assez solides pour faire face aux pressions des actionnaires qui réclamaient de meilleures marges opérationnelles. « Sotheby’s retrouve sa liberté… et le secret » a titré The Art Newspaper au lendemain de l’annonce de la sortie de la puissante maison de ventes du NYSE.

A l’heure des taux négatifs ou voisins de zéro, le Marché de l’Art est plus attractif que jamais avec +7 % de rendement annuel moyen (Artprice100©).

Le Marché de l’Art a immensément gagné en efficience au cours des deux dernières décennies. Les frais de transaction restent élevés certes, et de nombreux obstacles freinent encore les mouvements des œuvres à la surface de la terre, mais le Marché de l’Art n’a jamais été aussi liquide et jamais aussi global.

Du nouveau record à 4 m$ enregistré à Pékin pour l’artiste allemand Anselm Kiefer, au nouvel attrait du marché américain pour l’art aborigène (avec des expositions à la galerie Gagosian et au MoMA PS1), le Marché de l’Art s’affranchit des frontières géo-politiques.

Les préférences des acheteurs restent évidemment sujettes à de profondes influences géographiques, mais le Marché de l’Art s’en accommode parfaitement. Pour preuve, la maison de ventes Sotheby’s s’est retirée du Moyen-Orient en 2015, préférant organiser une session annuelle entièrement dédiée à l’art de cette région à Londres. Elle sait en effet que les collectionneurs de la péninsule arabique effectuent sans peine les quelques 4 000 km qui séparent Doha de la capitale anglaise.

Le Marché de l’Art est prêt à être dématérialisé, avec un handicap de près de 30 ans de retard, véritable anomalie en macro-économie.

Nombreux sont les outils mis à disposition des amateurs, collectionneurs, professionnels et institutionnels pour administrer leurs collections et leurs manières de vendre, et disposer d’une vision globale du Marché de l’Art à tout instant. Artprice, pionnier dans ce domaine, a développé depuis 1987 – en rachetant entre autres Xylogic Suisse – un ensemble complet d’outils d’aide à la décision qui rassemblent les meilleurs indicateurs du Marché de l’Art, révèles les dernières tendances et permettent d’anticiper les variations de prix. Ainsi, l’ensemble Big Data, Data Mining, IE, AI, Blockchain est désormais au service du Marché de l’Art. Artprice consacre chaque année 80 % de ses charges à la R&D et fait l’objet du label étatique d’Entreprise Innovante par le BPI.

thierry Ehrmann précise : « Nos indices de prix, calculés sur la base de la méthode infaillible des ventes répétées, symbolisent au mieux la puissance de nos banques de données : une couverture exhaustive, transparente et surtout entièrement objective des ventes publiques d’œuvres d’art à travers le monde ».

L’arrivée de Patrick Drahi à la tête de Sotheby’s scelle définitivement la transformation numérique du Marché de l’Art. L’essor extraordinaire du Marché de l’Art peut se comprendre avec ces deux chiffres, nous sommes passés des 500 000 collectionneurs de l’Après-Guerre à 90 millions d’art consummers aujourd’hui. De même, avec l’Industrie Muséale, il s’est construit plus de Musée entre 2000 et fin 2014 qu’entre le 19ème et 20ème siècle. Ce rythme continue pour le bonheur de tous les passionnés d’art, avec près de 700 nouveaux musées par an, désormais sur les cinq continents.

Artprice.com is changing its name to Artmarket.com to become a global player in the Art Market

Artprice.com is changing its name to Artmarket.com to become a global player in the Art Market

thierry Ehrmann, CEO and founder of Artprice.com and Artmarket.com

This historic name change reflects an expansion of our role to all matters related to the Art Market rather than just to questions related to “art prices”, a subset of the Art Market.

This is the same approach successfully implemented by Google which has become Alphabet to avoid being associated uniquely with search engines.

As such, the Artprice brand – known worldwide for over 20 years – will remain the reference brandname for Artmarket.com in its highly profitable art prices /indices databanks activity.

“For Artprice – now Artmarket – this represents a very significant financial and economic step forward.”

“Artprice acquired the domain names artmarket.com .net and .org a long time ago and therefore holds a perfectly legal key to millions of searches per month via the generic term “Art Market” on Google.com, or any other search engine.

Artmarket.com .net .org are therefore the primary Internet keys to the global Art Market.

Moreover, for all matters related to the commercial aspects of art, the term “Art Market” is the term universally used since the post-war period by all the artistic, economic and financial publications including The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The New York Times, Bloomberg, Reuters, The Art Newspaper, The Guardian, the BBC, CNN, Euronews, AFP, Yahoo! Finance, Cision (PR Newswire), etc…

“Artmarket.com” opens the doors of a future that can only be 100% digital now that the Art Market has already massively migrated into the mobile Internet sector (4.5 billion smartphones in circulation and 5G already operational in certain countries). Artmarket.com is a perfect reflection of this digital electroshock, both scientifically and economically, and it has acquired its lead in this market thanks to years of R&D.

Of course, this name change will have no impact on our customers whose access to our services and our data remains completely unchanged.

Artprice.com shareholders will very soon be invited to an EGM (within the legal deadlines) to approve this name change.

After approval, shareholders of Artprice.com on Euronext will automatically become shareholders of Artmarket.com without any impact on the number of shares held or their attached rights.

Artprice: The Digital Revolution of the Art Market is Now

2019/07/09 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

PARIS, July 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — The acquisition of Sotheby’s by the telecommunications and networks tycoon, Patrick Drahi, may be seen as the Art Market’s final acceptance of the digital era.

To view the Multimedia News Release, please click: https://www.multivu.com/players/uk/8571451-artprice-digital-revolution-art-market/

thierry Ehrmann, Artprice’s Founder and CEO, explains: « In 1998, François Pinault’s acquisition of Christie’s brought our industry into the ‘financial’ era. Twenty years later, its principal rival Sotheby’s is leading the ‘digital’ revolution. Fortunately, much of the groundwork has already been done: Artprice has long been a pioneering force in this colossal metamorphosis. Ten years ago, the famous art historian Raymonde Moulin said: « whether you like it or not, Artprice has irreversibly changed the structure of the Art Market that I have been studying for more than 50 years. »

The next long-awaited step in the Art Market’s evolution is its dematerialization. In 2017, Sotheby’s eliminated buyer fees from its online sales… but five months later, it reintroduced them. Its financial performance was not strong enough to resist the pressure from shareholders who demanded better operating margins. The day after Sotheby’s announced its forthcoming delisting from the NYSE, the French version of The Art Newspaper ran the headline « Sotheby’s regains its freedom… and its secrecy. »

In a context of negative or near-zero interest rates, the Art Market is more attractive than ever, with an average annual return +7% (Artprice100©).

The Art Market is now ready for dematerialization… although compared to other economic segments it has a handicap of almost 30 years…

thierry Ehrmann again: « Our price indices – calculated using the infallible repeat sales method, epitomise the power of our data banks, providing a comprehensive, transparent and, above all, entirely objective coverage of public art sales art around the world. »

Artprice: Hong Kong drives the Contemporary Art Market

2019/05/29 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Artist Zhang Xiaogang in his studio with Wan Jie, Artron Group CEO (left) and thierry Ehrmann, Artprice CEO (right).

Christie’s, Phillips and Bonhams have at last started their 2019 sales programme in Hong Kong, two months after the other major auction houses began theirs. Sotheby’s, China Guardian, Poly, Council and Seoul Auction organized their first major Hong Kong sessions just after the Art Basel Hong Kong fair.

This unusual split in the major sales calendar (especially between Christie’s and Sotheby’s) appears to have benefited the Hong Kong Art Market, which is now more evenly spread over the first half of the year.

According to thierry Ehrmann, Artprice’s CEO and founder, “one of Hong Kong’s major advantages is its capacity to offer an extraordinary mix of works from around the world. In this respect, it is absolutely unique in the world, turning over the best works from China, Japan and all of Southeast Asia, but also from Europe and the United States.

Phillips’ recent evening sale included works by Zao Wou-Ki, Roy Lichtenstein, Zhang Xiaogang, Yoshitimo Nara and Andy Warhol. The selection was both prestigious and universal… a perfect reflection of the wealth of the Hong Kong marketplace. That’s why all the big auction houses, both Chinese and American, want to be there.”

Indeed, this year, Hong Kong’s attractiveness convinced the Guangzhou-based auctioneer Holly’s International to expand its activities there. Founded in 1994, Holly’s has organised no less than seven sales in Hong Kong for the end of May 2019… its first venture into the city since it began operations.

Zao Wou-Ki reigns supreme

The best results at Christie’s and Phillips were, unsurprisingly, generated by the Franco-Chinese painter Zao Wou-Ki. Since his massive record of $57.5 million last September, the master of lyrical abstraction has joined the giants of the art market, taking third place in Artprice’s 2018 auction turnover ranking, just behind Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet.

The eight Zao Wou-Ki paintings offered for sale by Christie’s on 25 May 2019 generated $50 million, accounting for 45% of the sale’s total turnover. It was a remarkable performance, but it could have been better because the best piece among the eight, a large oil on canvas titled 02/01/65, failed to sell.

No doubt the on-demand estimate was above $30 million, a value that is consistent with the latest results, but which in view of the rapid inflation of Zao Wou- Ki’s prices, might take a little longer to prevail on the market. In 2010, the same work was acquired for just $2.7 million.

Success confirmed for Kaws and Richard Lin

The sales organised by Sotheby’s at the beginning of April 2019 were particularly marked by the unexpected record for the American street artist Kaws. Estimated between $800,000 and $1 million, his painting The Kaws Album (2005) reached a staggering $14.8 million (including fees). The new star of the Perrotin and Skarstedt galleries has had an exceptional start to the year on the secondary market.

Phillips generated a thirteenth result above the $1 million line with Half Full (2012). Acquired in New York at Christie’s in March 2018 for $444,500, this acrylic on canvas was resold for $1.4 million in Hong Kong, just 14 months later.

The abstract painter Richard Lin (1933-2011) also generated substantially buoyant results. Seven years after his death, interest in his work renewed his auction record three times in 2018. On 27 May 2019 his painting 1.3.1964 – Painting Relief dominated Bonhams’ Contemporary & Modern Art sale.

Prices stabilise for works by Contemporary Chinese artists

The prices of Chinese painters born in the 1950s are firming in Hong Kong. Without setting new records (set five or six years ago for most of them), this generation of new Chinese masters of the oil painting medium is enjoying strong demand in Asia… and reassuring collectors.

On 25 May, Zeng Fanzhi’s painting Mask (1996) sold just under $3 million at Christie’s, far below the $23 million recorded in 2013 for his much larger canvas The Last Supper (2001), a value he has never come close to since then… Similarly, and on the same day, Zhang Xiaogang’s Bloodline Series: The Big Family No. 10 (2000) sold for $1.6 million. In 2014 his Bloodline: The Big Family No.3 (1995) from the same series fetched over $12 million.

In view of these results, we are clearly seeing a price consolidation on works by Chinese artists from this generation: their values are tending to stabilise at very high levels. This trend has been confirmed, among other signs, by three successive results for Zhou Chunya’s painting Stone Series – The Tree Connected to Stone (1993):

$246,000 – 9 October 2006 (Sotheby’s Hong Kong)

$6,700,000 – 5 April 2014 (Sotheby’s Hong Kong)

$4,100,000 – 25 May 2019 (Christie’s Hong Kong)

ARTPRICE: Big is beautiful…

2019/05/07 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

One of Louise Bourgeois’s six Spider sculptures, measuring more than 7 meters across and 3 meters tall, will be offered for sale at Christie’s on 15 May 2019 in New York. Numbered 3/6 in the series, the work already fetched $28.2 million in 2015 and Louise Bourgeois’s prices have stayed steady since then.
It could become the most expensive artwork by a female artist ever sold at auction.

Giuseppe Bezzuloli (1784 – 1855) – Folly driving the chariot of Love L: 4.8 m; H: 3.4 m.

“Like it or not, when it comes to art, size is very important. Giant works fascinate us because they transcend our own scale. Who isn’t impressed by huge paintings like Pablo Picasso’s Guernica (at the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid) or Veronese’s Les Noces de Cana (at the Louvre Museum in Paris)?” says thierry Ehrmann, Artprice’s Founder/CEO

In general, an artist’s largest works attract the strongest demand. For equivalent quality, the larger works will almost always be worth more than the smaller works.

This week, Artprice picks out a selection of 10 monumental works auctioned in 2018 in each of the major artistic mediums.

PAINTINGS

Zao Wou-Ki – Juin-Octobre 1985

10 x 2.8 meters

On 30 September 2018, Zao Wou-Ki’s Juin-Octobre 1985 triptych – his largest work still in circulation – caused a major sensation when it was re-offered for sale at Sotheby’s. In May 2005, Christie’s sold the same work in Hong Kong for $2.3 million. Thirteen and a half years later, its value exceeded $65 million, i.e. no less than 28 times its previous value.

Mark Bradford – Helter Skelter I (2007)

10 x 3.65 meters

American painter Mark Bradford had a particularly good year in 2018. In 2017, he represented the United States at the Venice Biennale. But it wasn’t until the first half of the following year that his prices began to inflate rapidly, generating three new auction records.

On 8 March 2018, his Helter Skelter I (2007) came close to $12 million at Phillips in London. This huge piece was a key element in the exhibition Collage: The Unmonumental Picture organized by the New York Museum in New York in 2008.

Osgemeos – It is Supposed to be Raining But… (2008)

2.5 x 2.5 metres

This large format canvas allowed the Brazilian duo of graphic artists to express their art in superb style. Accustomed to large facades, the two street artists have produced a large number of reasonably dimensioned paintings for the market. However, their very large canvases capture all the power of their street art. On 26 June 2018, the painting fetched $132,000 at Phillips in London.

DRAWINGS

Takashi Murakami – Dragon in Clouds-Red Mutation (2010)

18 x 3.6 meters

Takashi Murakami’s imaginary world stands at the crossroads of manga culture and Sino-Japanese mythology. In April 2018, the auction house Council sold one of his three large-scale interpretations of Asia’s most popular mythical creature, the dragon. His colossal drawing – red ink on paper – titled Dragon in Clouds-Red Mutation seduced Chinese collectors in Shanghai, fetching more than $8.8 million.

Giuseppe Bezzuloli – Folly driving the cart of Love

481 x 344 cm.

Commissioned in 1848 to paint the ceiling of the Palazzo Gerini in Florence, Giuseppe Bezzuloli executed this study on the theme of Love and Madness. The final fresco still adorns the ceiling of the famous Tuscan Palace.

Estimated between $50,000 and $80,000, the drawing was purchased for $275,000 at Christie’s in New York on 30 January 2018. Nowadays, very large-scale historical works are extremely rare on the market and this post-Renaissance drawing – which still retains all its power – was a superb acquisition.

SCULPTURE

KAWS – Clean Slate (2014)

5.5 x 5.5 x 7.5 meters

Kaws is currently an in vogue artist par excellence… from New York… to Hong Kong. The American street artist has conquered the international art market with his colorful paintings, his large-scale figurines and his monumental sculptures. Clean Slate (2014) was shown all around the world (Shanghai, Ibiza, Hong Kong and Fort Worth) before being put on sale by Phillips in New York, where it was acquired for nearly $2 million.

Philippe de Buyster (Attrib.) – Vierge de pitié (c.1650-60)

1.6 x 0.5 x 1.3 meters

This 17th century Pietà was one of the very few large-scale Old Master works sold last year. In perfect condition, the terracotta sculpture came from the Chapel of Château d’Autricourt in Burgundy (France). Christie’s sold the piece for $58,000 (including costs) in Paris on 19 June 2018.

Joana Vasconcelos – Betty Boop (2010)

4.1 x 1.5 x 3 meters

This huge high-heeled shoe made of stainless steel pots and concrete is a perfect example of Joana Vasconcelos’s taste for oversize. The Franco-Portuguese artist has never been afraid to invest large places like the Bon Marché department store in Paris or the Palace of Versailles where Betty Boop (2010) was presented in the Hall of Mirrors in 2012.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Gilbert & George – Thirty-Five Locations (2003)

422 x 361 cm

The British duo Gilbert & George is not doing as well on the secondary market as in 2008, but their unique large-format photos continue to fetch very good prices. Consisting of 24 rectangular sections, Thirty-Five Locations resembles a huge stained glass window in black, white and red. It was the largest photographic work sold during 2018 and fetched $150,000 at Sotheby’s in New York (17 May).

MIXED MEDIA

Tracey Emin – Dark Dark Dark (2007)

3.6 x 1.6 x 1.5 metres

In 2007 Artwise commissioned Tracey Emin to customise four Fiat 500s (each unique) for a charity sale. On 5 December 2018 at Phillips’ New Now sale, one of them fetched $8,000. In the catalogue Phillips warned Please note this lot is offered as an art work, and not a motor vehicle…

The use of motor vehicles as an artistic medium may seem bizarre, but several major artists have lent themselves to the exercise in the past. The BMW Art Car project, for example, allowed Andy Warhol, David Hockney and Jeff Koons to completely transform the exteriors of cars.

Artprice: the 10 top-selling artworks created after the 2008 financial crisis

Artprice: the 10 top-selling artworks created after the 2008 financial crisis

The year 2008 marked a turning point for the Art Market and for the global economy as a whole. In retrospect, Sotheby’s 15 September 2008 sale Beautiful Inside My Head Forever dedicated to works by Damien Hirst – just hours before the collapse of Lehman Brothers Bank and its repercussions on art sales throughout the world – now looks like the swan song of a different era.

However, as thierry Ehrmann, Founder/CEO of Artprice tells us, “the impact of the financial crisis did not affect artistic creation; the significant changes we have seen since 2008 are essentially due to changes within the internal structure of the Art Market.

The main development is of course the growth of the Chinese market, but we have also seen the growth of Art as a financial investment. Negative or near–zero interest rates, which undermine the value of savings, have increasingly pushed capital towards alternative investments… and Art generates very attractive returns. The large number of artworks created over the last ten years that have already sold in public auctions prove that Contemporary Art represents a sensational market.”

Global Fine Art auction turnover

Global Fine Art auction turnover

Artprice presents 10 artists who have already marked the secondary market with works created after the 2008 financial crisis.

1. Cui Ruzhuo (b. 1944): The Grand Snowing Mountains (2013)

$39,577,000 – 4 April 2016, Poly Auction, Hong Kong

The Chinese painter Cui Ruzhuo is one of the most successful living artists in the Art Market, on a par with Gerhard Richter and David Hockney. However, unlike the latter two, his best works – those for which demand is the strongest – are his most recent. The result hammered for a mountain-scene panorama measuring over 8 meters wide and 3 meters high – The Grand Snowing Mountains (2013) – illustrates the immense success of this new giant of Chinese painting who remains far too unknown in the West.

2. Jeff Koons (b. 1955): Popeye (2009/11)

$28,165,000 – 14 May 2014, Sotheby’s, New York

A month before his retrospective began at the Whitney Museum (27 June 27 – 19 October 2014), the Prince of Kitsch Jeff Koons saw his Popeye sculpture (2009/11) become the subject of furious bidding at an evening sale at Sotheby’s New York. The sculpture, the first in a series of three, was to be one of the highlights of the Jeff Koons exhibition at the Whitney Museum, and was also shown at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Bilbao Guggenheim.

3. Mark Grotjahn (b. 1968): Untitled (S III Released to France Face 43.14) (2011)

$16,767,500 – 17 May 2017, Christie’s, New York

Represented by the Gagosian Gallery since 2008, the American painter Mark Grothjahn saw his prices rise gradually until 2017. Then, in the space of just twelve months, his price index shot up 75%… before falling back again the following year. In 2018, another of his large format paintings, Untitled (Black over Red Orange « Mean as a Snake » Face 842) (2010), fetched $7,073,000.

4. Gerhard Richter (b. 1932): Abstraktes Bild (2009)

$9,093,300 – 5 March 2019, Sotheby’s, London

Large abstract paintings by Gerhard Richter are among the most expensive artworks in the world. In February 2015, Abstraktes bild (1986) fetched over $46 million setting a sensational record for Germany’s Art Market leader. The sale of Abstraktes Bild (2009) shows that collectors are increasingly valuing his recent production, which could be as valuable as his earlier works (1965 – 1990) in the long run.

5. Rudolf Stingel (b. 1956): Untitled (2012)

$7,939,000 – 8 March 2018, Phillips London

Rudolf Stingel is also supported Larry Gagosian and has also greatly benefited from the dealer’s international power and standing. In 2015, the Gagosian presented Stingel’s work in Asia for the first time with a series of paintings Untitled (2012) that reproduced wall fragments from his double exhibition at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art and the Whitney Museum in New York in 2007. During those shows, visitors were invited to write inscriptions of all kinds on the walls of the two prestigious museums. Stingel reproduced certain details using electro-formed copper which he subsequently covered with gold.

6. Jin Shangyi (b. 1934): Peony Pavilion (2013)

$7,829,400 – 31 May 2014, China Guardian, Canton

Chinese painter Jin Shangyi is a master oil painter. Known for his portraits (including female nudes in the late 1980s), he is one of the most original Chinese artists of his generation. His work was much in demand in 2013, as shown by the value of his 1999 canvas Monk Painter Kun Can (画僧髡残):

– $2,088,500, 13 May 2007 – China Guardian, Beijing

– $6,326,500, 1 June 2013 – Poly Auction, Beijing

– $4,436,500, 16 June 2018 – China Guardian, Beijing

7. Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929): Pumpkin (TWPOT) (2010)

$6,937,500 – 1 April 2019, Sotheby’s, Hong Kong

She is the most successful female artist on the global Art Market, all periods of creation combined. The 707 works by Yayoi Kusama auctioned around the world in 2018 generated $103 million, covering more than sixty years of artistic creation from the early 1950s to canvases painted in the past 5 years, which are already being resold.

8. Adrian Ghenie (b. 1977): Boogeyman (2010)

$6,354,000 – 5 October 2018, Sotheby’s, London

The youngest artist in this ranking and the figurehead of new European expressionism, the Romanian painter Adrian Ghenie joined the Pace Gallery in 2013 and his work has already been purchased by some of the world’s leading Contemporary Art museums, including the Centre Georges Pompidou. Both tenebrous and colorful, his paintings do not hide the influence of Van Gogh and Francis Bacon, sometimes with quite direct references.

9. George Condo (b. 1957): Nude and forms (2014)

$6,162,500 – 17 May 2018, Christie’s, New York

In 2018, George Condo conquered the world. With more than $55 million in auction turnover between New York (56%), London (30%) and Hong Kong (12%), Condo is one of the top 50 most successful artists of all time. His market is now more active than that of Jasper Johns or Frank Stella.

10. Mark Tansey (b. 1949): Hedge (2011)

$5,653,000 – 14 May 2015, Phillips, New York

Although Mark Tansey’s works rarely appear at auction (a total of just 103 lots over the last 30 years), demand is ever-stronger for his work. Today his market is entirely divided between New York (90%) and London (10%), but he is very likely to be sold in Asia soon.

Artprice: All segments of the Art Market are gold mines for those who know how to anticipate and wait.

2019/04/17 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

According to thierry Ehrmann, the found and CEO of Artprice.com, “Our clients, with Artprice, can follow artworks from one appearance at auction to another, which give them insight into how collectors anticipate the Art Market and benefit from its long-term general evolution.

When we take a look at the first quarter of 2019, for instance, we see that a large number of Fine Art auction lots have proved the extraordinary profitability of Art as an investment over the last thirty years. Of these the most spectacular was probably David Hockney’s Henry Geldzahler and Christopher Scott (1969), which fetched the quarter’s best result at over $49 million on 6 March 2019 at Christie’s London. In November 1992, the same 2×3 metre canvas had sold for $1 million.”

Paul Signac (1863-1935) Le Port au soleil couchant, Opus 236 (Saint-Tropez) (1892)

Paul Signac (1863-1935)
Le Port au soleil couchant, Opus 236 (Saint-Tropez) (1892)

The price evolution of Paul Signac’s Le Port au soleil couchant proves that the best financial returns are not reserved for Post-War and Contemporary artists.

The seascape’s three appearances at auction show a constant and extremely dynamic appreciation over nearly forty years, for a historical artist whose contribution to the History of Western Art has long been recognised:

– 12 May 1980: $490,000 (Sotheby’s New York)

– 11 May 1993: $1.8 million (Sotheby’s New York)

– 27 February 2019: $26 million (Christie’s London)

Basquiat still leading

The upside on works by Jean-Michel Basquiat has been somewhat less publicized over the first part of 2019… and yet the American prodigy generated three of the ten best gains in the first quarter. On 5 March 2019 at Sotheby’s London, his 1986 canvas Apex (painted two years before his death by drug overdose) reached $10.8 million, multiplying its value by no less than 370 times since its last auction in June 1988 when it sold for just $29,400.

A pencil drawing entitled Soothsayer (1983) proves that Basquiat’s success covers all of his production. Acquired for $32,900 in June 2002, this small work sold for $997,600 on 5 March 2019, representing an average annual return on investment of +22% over the last 17 years.

Similarly, his paper collage Untitled (1987) – sold during the same session at Sotheby’s in London – confirms a very clear trend:

– on 25 March 1993 it fetched $26,700 (Christie’s London)

– on 5 March 2019 it fetched $1,321,000 (Sotheby’s London)

We have seen this kind of price metamorphosis with lots of other artists as well. The Minimalist French artist, Daniel Buren (b. 1938) is today enjoying an extraordinary price ascension that is rewarding all the collectors who anticipated the power of his art a quarter of a century ago.

His canvas Peinture acrylique blanche sur tissu rayé blanc et rouge, purchased $3,500 in 1997 at Libert-Castor in Paris, fetched $357,500 at Phillips in London on 8 March 2019.

Likewise in Asia

Hong Kong’s recent prestige sales in the wake Art Basel Hong Kong generated a number of significant revaluations that benefit Asian collectors. The biggest rise in China during Q1 2019 came from a painting by Fengmian Lin (1900-1991) titled Wisteria. Twenty-seven years ago it sold for $15,000 at Sotheby’s in New York. Since 2 April 2019, it is now worth over $1.3 million.

The return to Hong Kong of great works by Chinese Modern artists, long traded on the Western marketplaces, can have a considerable impact on their value. But the development of the Hong Kong market over the last 30 years also benefits artists who have never left Asia.

Take for example the latest result for an ink drawing by artist Yu Feian (1888-1959) entitled Parrot (1945). Purchased in Hong Kong in 1990 for $11,400, the same drawing resold for 70 times that amount in the same city (Sotheby’s) on 2 April 2019 ($787,000).

Women in vogue

The Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama also, unsurprisingly, ranks among the most impressive price accretions in Q1. Today the most successful female artist on the global Art Market, with an auction turnover exceeding $100 million in 2018 (ahead of Louise Bourgeois and Joan Mitchell), Kusama has not always had this kind of success.

In 2000, the record auction price for one of her paintings was just $80,000, whereas her Interminable Net # 4 (1959) fetched close to $8 million on 1 April at Sotheby’s Hong Kong. In terms of revaluation, her sculpture Midsummer (1983), acquired for just $7,200 at Sotheby’s in London in 2000, resold for $428,000 at the same auctioneer 19 years later.

The prize for the most unexpected price jump in Q1 2019 must surely go to 17th century Flemish artist Michaelina Wautier. Long forgotten by art historians, Wautier was ‘rediscovered’ in 2018 with a first retrospective organized at the Museum aan de Stroom and at the Rubens House in Antwerp.

The renewed attention had a profound impact on the prices of her works and her canvas A garland of flowers (1652) reached $471,000 on 30 January 2019 at Sotheby’s in New York. In 1993, the strange bouquet with a hovering dragonfly sold for just $20,000.

As Q1’s global auction results show, the best financial performances come from all segments of the Art Market, and not just from its high-end or from Contemporary Art or from the American market…

Artprice: The Art Market confirms Robert Combas as one of France’s major living artists

2019/04/09 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Over the past two years the value of Robert Combas’ paintings (1957) has risen 40%. His large acrylics, especially those created in the late 1980s, now regularly fetch above $100,000 at auctions.

thierry Ehrmann: “With his market looking particularly dynamic, Robert Combas is today the second most sought-after living French artist after Pierre Soulages. Although his paintings still fetch much less than those of France’s grand master of abstraction, his latest auction results suggest a rapid growth in demand and an expansion of his market as far as Asia”.

In June 2017, the Chinese auction house Ravenel set a new auction record for Combas in Taiwan when his The Sun King (1987) sold for $214,500 (including fees). A year later, on 4 April 2018, La Prise de la Bastille (c.1989) and La bagarre de Zozo (1986) were each sold for $220,000 in Paris.

Boosted by these successive auction records, the enfant terrible of the Figuration Libre movement has proved he is still the best representative of French painting on the Contemporary Art Market.

As thierry Ehrmann puts it: “Combas is a one of our giants… he already has more than 5,000 auction results to his name”.

2018 was an excellent year for Robert Combas: 184 works were sold generating a total of $4.75 million. The market is trading more than forty years of artistic creation from his first canvases dated 1979 (the year he left art school in Saint-Etienne) to his most recent works.

However, the strongest demand focuses on works he produced from 1985 to 1995. Encouraged by rising prices, more and more collectors are selling major works they have sometimes kept for more than 20 years generating a virtuous market circle as Combas gains additional visibility.

The results speak for themselves: 8 of his top 10 auction results have been hammered since 2017.

Top 10 Best Auction Results for Robert Combas

Ranking – Work – Price – Sale (date and place)

1. La bagarre de Zozo (1986) – $220 350 – 04/04/2018, Artcurial, Paris

2. La prise de la Bastille (c. 1989) – $219 200 – 04/04/2018, Desbenoit, Paris

3. Le Roi Soleil (1987) – $212 500 – 03/06/2017, Ravenel, Taïwan

4. Il suffit de passer le pont (1992) – $212 400 – 19/03/2019, Sotheby’s Paris

5. Louis XIV (1985) – $207 700 – 28/03/2013, Cornette de Saint Cyr, Paris

6. Le chien à cinq pattes (1987) – $190 500 – 05/06/2018, Artcurial, Paris

7. La charrette des Condamnés (c. 1979) – $190 000 – 04/06/2018, Desbenoit, Paris

8. La gitane amoureuse (1988) – $184 500 – 03/12/2018, Artcurial, Paris

9. Les 4 peluches de l’Ave Maria (1987) – $176 500 – 04/04/2012, Artcurial, Paris

10. Nolon (1987) – $169 500 – 06/12/2017 – Sotheby’s, Paris

With France accounting for 87% of his lots sold, the core of Combas’ market remains French. However, his works are now selling well beyond France and Belgium, having already reached England and even Asia. The American market has so far resisted his prolific painting practice which is reminiscent of Keith Haring’s.

Robert Combas’ paintings now sell for somewhere between $15,000 and $200,000, depending on the size of the work, its subject, its provenance, etc. However, many of his works on paper are still accessible for less than $10,000, while his prints and his three-dimensional multiples usually change hands for between $1,000 and $5,000.

In the fall of 2018, the Parisian gallery Laurent Strouk presented his most recent works, created during the previous summer in Sète, a town on France’s Mediterranean coast where Combas lived as a child.

The exhibition entitled Le Théâtre de la Mer showed his latest paintings, but also his latest sculptures, as well as some pieces of furniture (chairs, lamps, rugs). Indeed, Robert Combas has never limited his creativity to any particular medium and has always given free rein to his inspiration… including T-shirts, trousers, guitars and a variety of other formats.

As his latest auction results show, Robert Combas is enjoying a new international visibility. Most of his production is still affordable, but that could soon change. His prices have shown strong long-term growth, +500% since 2000, that has accelerated over the last 24 months.

Artprice: Top 50 artworks sold at auction in 2018

2019/03/27 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Artprice and its CEO thierry Ehrmann are proud to present the 50 greatest artworks sold at auction last year. In the first half, Modern Art returned to ‘auction leader’ position with two results above the $100 million threshold.

The Art Market’s principal motivation has always been to seek the exceptional and the rare. The quest for strong sensations is an inherent characteristic of its history and its market: by acquiring an artwork, the collector also acquires an extraordinary history.

Collectors are naturally on the lookout for the right work by the right artist at the right time and at the right price, but they are also looking for a story that they relates to. In spite of these ‘search criteria’, the Art Market posts a global average 30% to 35% unsold rate, a key indicator of the Market’s health.

The inescapable processes of selection – indispensable to the Market’s refinement – are at the heart of the Museum Industry, the growth of which represents a genuine revolution in Art History.

Museums have in effect become the Temples of our 21st century: the number of visitors has multiplied by at least ten over the last 20 years. This represents an outstanding growth rate and it has been accompanied by the development of an entertainment market offering all manner of interactivity, derivatives, virtual visits, etc.

In sum, with the museums, the galleries and the auction houses, art has become a vast domain for leisure, discovery, education and curiosity.

Artprice and Artron are adapting their 2019 strategy to the Art Market dimension of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) that will be presented by President Xi Jinping this week in France.

2019/03/21 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

As part of China’s Presidential visit to Europe this week, Mr Xi Jinping will be in France to promote China’s New Sild Road over-arching development strategy known officially as “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR) or the “Belt and Road Initiative” (the BRI).

The Belt and Road Initiative covers approximately 65 countries in Asia and Europe, for a total estimated cost of 55% of global GDP. It involves 70% of the global population – 4.4 billion people – and 75% of the world’s energy reserves, with the total estimated investment period spanning 30 to 35 years for all the projects to be completed.

Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Artprice – Artron – Art Market

The estimated cost of the first projects stands around 900 billion dollars, for which China is said to consider loans that could amount to 8 trillion dollars, for the future infrastructures in the different countries along the new Silk Road.

In his editorial for the 21^th Global Art Market Annual Report co-published by Artprice and Artron last week, Mr Wan Jie, Chairman of Artron Group, Artprice’s Chinese Institutional partner, stated: “This growth (of the art market) over time, like that of Artron’s partnership with Artprice, will continue to accelerate as we integrate our resources, optimize our data, upgrade our Internet technology and diversify our business cooperation models. The result will be a New Silk Road connecting the different art worlds and the markets of the East and the West.”

In his speech during celebrations marking China’s 40 years of reform and economic opening, President Xi Jinping, announced new measures to strengthen China’s domestic market, measures that Artprice and Artron have immediately incorporated.

In order to best meet the requirements of China’s huge domestic market and take full advantage of its economic potential, Artprice has agreed with Artron to further deepen its role in China via the creation and implementation, by the Artron group, of a payment platform as well as various Chinese infrastructures in order to adapt to the new measures announced in February 2019.

In this context, Artprice, with Artron, will launch its official campaign with a new Chinese brand name and a new baseline in Chinese that will be communicated to the market before the end of March. This originally unplanned initiative – in compliance with the 2019 Chinese measures announced last month and effectively leading to a ‘new strategy’ – has slightly postponed Artprice’s initial targets, which otherwise remain unchanged.

thierry Ehrmann: “By becoming a Chinese brand for China – taking into account the specific tastes of Chinese art lovers, collectors and professionals – Artprice is blending into the history and daily life of China’s thousand-year-old culture, thereby boosting its notoriety and its sales turnover more quickly”.

More than ever, one of Artprice’s primary objectives is to meet the needs of China’s administration and its 34 provinces. This notably includes the requirements of China’s customs services in setting up an operational tax base for artworks (where applicable).

Besides these initiatives concerning China’s domestic market, Artprice has become a member of the New Franco-Chinese Institute of Lyons (launched in 1921). Created at the initiative of the City of Lyons, the Lyons Chamber of Commerce and the ADERLY, the New Franco-Chinese Institute of Lyons has already brought together many institutional and private partners like Groupe SEB, EDF and the Bank Of China and it defines itself, among other things, as a networking facilitator for contacts at the highest levels in France and China.

The mission of this Institute is the international promotion of France and the economic attractiveness of the Lyons region by promoting the economic advantages of Lyons in China and encouraging Chinese investment in the Rhône-Alpes region.

It is perfectly logical that Artprice should join the New Franco-Chinese Institute of Lyons because Lyons is historically one of the historical final destinations of Silk Roads since the Renaissance. Lyons is also the most visited French city by Chinese leaders.

Moreover, after launching the project for an “Economic corridor traversing countries crossed by the old Silk Road” in 2013, President Xi Jinping made an official visit to Lyons in 2014. Indeed, the New Franco-Chinese Institute of Lyons is born precisely in this context and it intends – with its historical connections (since 1921) – to give new impetus to the future of relations between Lyons and China, an impetus that Artprice fully endorses.

Artprice et Artron adaptent leur stratégie 2019 pour la Nouvelle Route de la Soie du Marché de l’Art dans le cadre des Nouvelles Routes de la Soie « One Belt, One Road » présentées par le Président Xi Jinping cette semaine en France.

2019/03/18 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Le Président Chinois Xi Jinping sera cette semaine en Europe et notamment en France pour défendre les Nouvelles Routes de la Soie « One Belt, One Road » (OBOR) ou « Belt and Road Initiative » (BRI).

En effet, l’initiative de « la ceinture et de la route » englobe près de 65 pays asiatiques et européens, représentant près de 55 % du PIB mondial, 70 % de la population mondiale – 4,4 milliards d’habitants –, 75 % des réserves énergétiques mondiales, pour une durée d’investissement pour l’ensemble des projets d’environ trente à trente-cinq ans. Le coût estimé des premiers projets est de l’ordre de 900 milliards de dollars et on évoque des prêts, de la part de la Chine, pouvant atteindre 8 trillions de dollars pour les infrastructures à venir dans les différents pays traversés.

Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Artprice – Artron – Art Market

Wan Jie, Président du Groupe Artron et partenaire d’Artprice, dans son édito concernant le 21ème Rapport mondial du Marché de l’Art co-édité par les deux groupes la semaine dernière, écrit: « Cette progression au fil du temps, tout comme le partenariat entre Artron et Artprice, ne cessera de se surpasser grâce à l’intégration des ressources, à l’optimisation des données, à la mise à niveau de la technologie Internet et à la diversification des modèles de coopération commerciale. Le résultat final ? Une Nouvelle Route de la Soie reliant les Mondes de l’Art et les marchés de l’Est et de l’Ouest. »

Le Président Xi Jinping, lors du discours pour la célébration des 40 ans de réforme et d’ouverture de la Chine, a annoncé de nouvelles directives notamment pour le renforcement du marché intérieur chinois qu’Artprice et Artron ont immédiatement intégrées.

Artprice, pour épouser de manière optimale l’énorme marché intérieur chinois et en saisir le potentiel économique, adapte avec Artron le renforcement de sa feuille de route avec la création et mise en production par le groupe Artron d’une plateforme de paiement et infrastructures sino-chinoises pour répondre aux nouvelles directives de février 2019.

Dans ce cadre, Artprice va démarrer avec Artron sa campagne officielle avec un nouveau nom et marque chinois avec une nouvelle baseline en chinois qui seront communiqués au marché avant la fin du mois de mars. Cette mise en conformité imprévue des directives chinoises 2019 amenant à cette nouvelle stratégie décale quelque peu les objectifs d’Artprice qui restent inchangés.

thierry Ehrmann : « Artprice, en devenant pour la Chine une marque chinoise, prenant en compte la sensibilité spécifique des amateurs, collectionneurs et professionnels de l’Art chinois, Artprice s’intègre dans l’Histoire et le quotidien de la culture chinoise millénaire, pour ainsi accroître plus rapidement sa notoriété et son chiffre d’affaires ».

Plus que jamais l’un des principaux objectifs d’Artprice est en effet de répondre aux besoins de l’administration chinoise des 34 provinces ainsi que ceux des douanes pour délivrer l’assiette fiscale des œuvres d’art sur lesquelles les taux s’appliquent.

Par ailleurs, Artprice devient membre du Nouvel Institut Franco-Chinois de Lyon lancé en 1921. Créé à l’initiative de la Métropole de Lyon, de la Chambre de Commerce de Lyon et de l’ADERLY, Le Nouvel Institut Franco-Chinois de Lyon a déjà rassemblé de nombreux partenaires institutionnels et privés, comme le Groupe SEB, EDF, Bank Of China… et se définit, entre autres, comme la mise en réseau facilitant les contacts aux plus hauts niveaux tant en France qu’en Chine.

La mission de cet Institut est d’assurer la promotion internationale du territoire et de l’attractivité économique de la région lyonnaise en valorisant le tissu économique lyonnais en Chine et à l’accueil des investissements chinois en région Rhône-Alpes.

C’est fort logiquement qu’Artprice devient membre du Nouvel Institut Franco-Chinois de Lyon car Lyon est historiquement l’un des points d’aboutissement historique des Routes de la Soie depuis la Renaissance. Lyon est d’ailleurs la ville française la plus visitée par les dirigeants chinois.

D’autre part, il faut se souvenir de la visite officielle à Lyon du Président Xi Jinping en 2014 après avoir lancé en 2013 le projet d’un « Couloir économique des pays traversés par l’ancienne Route de la Soie ». C’est dans ce contexte que naît le Nouvel Institut Franco-Chinois de Lyon qui entend, fort d’un passé exceptionnel (1921), donner une impulsion nouvelle à l’avenir des relations entre Lyon et la Chine, dans lequel Artprice s’inscrit naturellement.

Artprice’s 2018 Annual Art Market Report: record number of global Fine Art auction transactions since 1945 and greater buyer selectivity…

2019/03/12 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Fruit of the alliance between Artprice, world leader in Art Market information (founded and directed by thierry Ehrmann), and Artron, its powerful Chinese institutional partner (directed by Wan Jie), our 21st Annual Art Market Report* allows a truly balanced perspective of the global market that covers both the West and the East.

Artprice100© “The Wolves of Wall Street at the gates of the Art Market”

The Artprice100® index shows an increase of +380% since 2000

Or an annual average return of +8.6%

Eight artists changes in our Artprice100® index between fiscal year 2017 and 2018

In 2000, only 1 Chinese artist (Zhang Daqian) qualified for inclusion in our Artprice100® index compared with 16 in 2017

An efficient, liquid and transparent Art Market, similar to a financial market.

In a world where many Western countries now post quarterly economic growth rates well below 1%, the Art Market has once again confirmed its efficiency, liquidity and transparency… just like a financial market.

In 2000, the global Art Market posted a global auction turnover of $3.2 billion. In 2018, the figure was $15.48 billion, up 380% versus 2000.

The strength of the Art Market is related to its unparalleled level of selectivity over the past twelve years, very much in line with Artprice’s dictum “Buy the right work, from the right period, with a good story, by the right artist, at the right time.”

The formula is simple but exceptionally efficient and explains the Western market’s almost “perfect” unsold rate of 36%.

Let’s not forget that the unsold rate has acted as a key benchmark for 120 years, indicating whether the market is in speculative mode (unsold rate under 20%) or in free fall (above 60%). According to the famous Art Market sociologist, Raymonde Moulin, 36% is the right balance.

A spectacular increase in transactions with 538,000 works sold in 2018, an absolute record since 1945, despite the relative torpidity of the global economy.

Driven by a healthy combination of investment logic, speculative buying, passionate collecting and insatiable demand for major signatures to ‘populate’ the world’s new museums, the global Art Market posted a dynamic level of activity in 2018 with 538,000 transactions, the highest annual figure since 1945, despite the relative stagnation of the global economy.

2018’s global auction turnover total was very impressive with an overall figure of $15.48 billion.

The drivers of this growth are ease of access to Art Market information, electronic sales (98% of the market’s participants are connected to the Internet), the financialization of the market, a growing population of ever-younger art consumers (from 500,000 in the 1950’s to 120 million in 2018) and the extension of the market to the entire Asia/Pacific area plus India, South Africa, the Middle East and South America.

A global economic reality in the 21st century, the museum industry® is driving the Art Market.

This demand for museum-quality works is one of the key factors in the spectacular growth of the Art Market which is now a mature and liquid market offering returns of 8% per year on works purchased over $200,000.

In 2018, 26.2% of our Top 500 global artists are Chinese, illustrating the power of China vis-à-vis the United States which only account for 17.4% of the Top 500 artists.

Similarly, in 2018 Chinese artists accounted for 26.2% of the artists in our Top 500 ranking illustrating China’s strength vis-à-vis the United States, which account for just 17.4%. Apart from American and Chinese artists, Europeans account for 45.4% of the Top 500 artists and other nationalities account for 11%, including Africans (1.2%), Latin Americans (1.6%) and Asians from outside China (6.6%).

In view of these macro and micro-economic data, the Art Market has successfully functioned for 19 years as a safe haven against economic and financial crises, with consistent and recurring returns.

The Artprice100® index (an all-periods global index for Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Art) shows a +380% increase since 2000.

In a context where central banks, particularly the ECB, are implementing close to zero or negative interest rates, the Art Market has enjoyed insolent health with our new Artprice100® index showing a progression of +380% since 2000. These returns are not limited to big name artists.

Our analyses show that the average annual return on artworks purchased above the $20,000 threshold is around +5.5%.

Of the world’s 6,300 auction houses, 98% are today present on the Internet (versus just 3% in 2005).

The Internet (Microsoft estimates over 5.3 billion people are connected worldwide) has now become the principal and definitive forum for auction operators worldwide and they are using it to consolidate their market shares on all continents.

The Art Market is fully dematerializing with Blockchain, but also with 5G becoming reality in 2019.

The Art Market will be impacted by Blockchain, a technology that Artprice has already adopted. However, before that reality becomes generalised, 5G (latest generation of cellular mobile communications) represents a major technical revolution via its universal connectivity, and particularly via the connection of objects and machines, which Artprice and its partner Artron are experimenting in Beijing.

In fact, the 5G that is being implemented this year in the US and in Europe has existed for two years in China. The powerful alliance between Artprice and Artron has enabled beta testing of a multitude of key art market services and industrial processes that were unimaginable under 4G.

The Art Market is an efficient, historic and global market with a capacity to withstand economic and geopolitical crises that is now beyond any doubt. Over the last 18 years, it has outperformed the world’s principal investment markets by a considerable margin.

Artprice: Top 20 photographers by 2018 auction turnover

2019/02/14 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

In our series of art market rankings designed to highlight some of its key trends, this week, artprice take a look at the photography market at auction.

thierry Ehrmann: ”The photography market represents just 1.7% of global Fine Art auction turnover, and 3% of the total number of Fine Art lots sold. But it has very interesting specificities that distinguish it from other Fine Art segments, starting with the fact that it is strongly dominated by Contemporary Art. Somewhat unusually, the figurehead of this market is, this year again, a woman, and an artist at the height of her art… Cindy Sherman”.

Gustave LE GRAY (1820-1884)
Boats leaving the port of Le Havre (1856-57)

1. Cindy Sherman (1954) – United States

$6,737,871

With 18 lots already auctioned above the $1 million threshold, Cindy Sherman is one of the three unmissable artists in today’s photography market. The prices of her photos have been gradually rising since 2012 and her market is particularly liquid with more than 60 photographs selling at auction per year and an unsold rate of just 20%.

2. Richard Prince (1949) – US

$6,504,718

3. Andreas Gursky (1955) – Germany

$5,147,708

4. Wolfgang Tillmans (1968) – Germany

$4,947,645

Single edition photographs from Tillmans’ series Freischwimmer Einzelgänger and Greifber have been hugely successful over the last two years in auction rooms and now fetch over $600,000. Yet more than 60% of his photos still sell for under $50,000 at auction. Wolfgang Tillmans was discovered by the general public in 2000 after winning the Turner Prize. In 2017, he was offered a retrospective at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel.

5. Irving Penn (1917-2009) – United States

$3,940,908

6. Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989) – United States

$3,433,837

7. Hiroshi Sugimoto (1948) – Japan

$3,277,496

While the United States largely dominates the photography market, Germany, Japan and France are still very attached to this medium. Hiroshi Sugimoto has been the most successful Japanese photographer on the secondary market for the last 15 years. His maritime horizons – photographed all over the planet – form his most accomplished works and the works most appreciated by collectors. His major photos, in five editions, today fetch over $300,000.

8. Richard Avedon (1923-2004) – United States

$2,533,905

9. Ansel Easton Adams (1902-1984) – United States

$2,424,772

10. Diane Arbus (1923-1971) – United States

$2,380,129

11. Helmut Newton (1920-2004) – Germany

$2,266,289

Newton is one of the rare major photographers to have hammered an auction record in 2018. The only known print of Panoramic Nude with Gun, Villa d’Este Como (1989) far exceeded Phillips’ estimates in London on 18 May, fetching nearly a million dollars.

12. Peter Beard (1938) – United States

$2,260,378

13. Thomas Ruff (1958) – Germany

$1,517,803

14. Barbara Kruger (1945) – United States

$1,507,283

15. Gerhard Richter (1932) – Germany

$1,507,119

16. Gustave Le Gray (1820-1884) – France

$1,448,561

In 2018 no less than 77 photographs by Gustave Le Gray were auctioned, with a peak price of $225,000. This performance makes Le Gray the most successful 19th century photographer – or, put another way – the photography market’s leading historical figure. However, the prices of his works seem to be contracting. Boats leaving the port of Le Havre (1856-57), which had set a record $1,264,000 on 18 June 2011 at Rouillac (France), was resold for $965,000 on 17 February 2016 at Christie’s in New York.

17. Man Ray (1890-1976) – United States

$1,376,050

The year 2017 gave a substantial boost to Man Ray’s market, notably by setting two successive records for his photographs. First Portrait of a tearful woman (1936) on 17 May 2017 in New York, and then Black and White (1926) on 9 November 2017 in Paris, acquired for $2.2 million and $3.1 million respectively. Although his best works were much rarer in 2018, Man Ray remains a pillar of the photography market.

18. Edward Henry Weston (1886-1958) – United States

$1,353,158

19. László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) – Hungary

$1,332,653

20. Robert Frank (1924) – Switzerland

$1,316,356

After experiencing strong price growth just before the 2008 crisis, the value of Robert Franck’s works has slowly stabilized. The price of his photos are still 2.5 times higher on average than 20 years ago, with results regularly exceeding $100,000.

Artprice: Artists under forty – Top 10 ranking

2019/02/05 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

In our fortnightly series of art market rankings designed to highlight some of its key trends, this week, artprice take a look at the new generation of artists emerging on the secondary market. One conclusion stands out above the rest: you don’t have to be over forty to fetch over a million dollars!

thierry Ehrmann: “There are six artists in our ranking of the Top 10 results of the year 2018 for artists aged less than forty. Among them, two have attracted 7 digit results: the young Chinese HAO Liang and the American artist of Nigerian origin Njideka Akunyili CROSBY. They both generated two results above the million-dollar threshold and they are both 35 years old. However, their domination of this ranking comes as no major surprise…”

Rank	Artist	Hammer Price ($)	Artwork	Sale
1	Njideka Akunyili CROSBY (1983)	1 ,932 ,500	Mimetic Gestures	2018-05-18 – Christie’s New York

Auction turnover CROSBY vs. HAO

Two young ‘millionaires’

Njideka Crosby has been headline news since 2014 when she was awarded the James Dicke Contemporary Artist Prize by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. On the secondary market, her works have been subject to massive demand since 2016 when her works first appeared… (also the year of her first 7-digit result).

Today, with seven 7-digit results under her belt over two years, she is the clear spearhead of a new generation of African-American artists shaking the auction market.

Her record currently stands at over $3 million for a painting of her sister (The Beautiful Ones) sold in 2017 at Christie’s in London by Peggy Cooper Cafritz, an equal rights activist and a major collector of African-American and African art who died last year. Initially American, demand for Crosby’s work quickly spread to Asia (with the successful sale of Tea Time In New Haven, Enugu for over $900,000 at Christie’s in Hong Kong on 27 May 2017).

Supply is clearly well below current demand: her works are still rare at auction and none has ever failed to sell. The artist, who already had the support of a major gallery through Victoria Miro in London, is now also supported, since last November, by the powerful David Zwirner Gallery in Asia and the United States.

The Chinese art market produced the second ‘millionaire’ young artist of 2018 in the person of Hao Liang who first caught people’s attention in 2014 with a superb auction debut: a silk scroll over 13 meters long titled The Tale of the Clouds that fetched $912,000 at Christie’s in Shanghai.

The year 2018 saw a double auction consecration for this young artist acclaimed by the Asian market, with two new million-plus results, including a $1.8 million record on 30 September in Hong Kong versus a pre-sale estimate of between $400,000 and $600,000. While the market for this prodigy has not yet spread beyond Greater China, his notoriety has already spread across the globe.

Supported by the powerful Gagosian Gallery (which gave him a New York exhibition last spring), the artist is already in the collections of major museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Pompidou Center in Paris and the Kadist in San Francisco.

Straw fire or new meteor?

Chinese collectors always support their artists, even when those artists don’t yet have an international reputation.

For proof… our Top 10 ranking also contains an artist about whom almost nothing is known except that he is called Jia Chang, was born in 1981, and that one of his drawings elicited vigorous bidding at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beijing at a sale organized by Poly Auction.

The drawing entitled Elephant (355 x 190 cm) multiplied its pre-sale estimate by five with a final bid of $679,000 on 17 June 2018. A spectacular result that could be a straw fire… or may translate into solid medium-term support.

In a different register, the ranking also highlights the American artist Avery Singer, aged 31, who already has a strong CV after exhibitions at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin), the Kunsthalle in Zürich, the New Museum in New York and the Hammer Museum In L.A..

Courted by museums and the media, the young artist is seeing her auction prices rocket after a first discreet appearance at Sotheby’s in London in October 2017 and despite two unsold pieces in New York last year. Singer produces surprising large fictional compositions, mainly in black and white, integrating 3D modeling.

Considering the support she is receiving, we can expect further surprises. In 2013, her canvas Fellow Travelers, Flaming Creatures was acquired from New York’s Greene Naftali Gallery for $20,000. In May 2018 the same work fetched $735,000 at Sotheby’s New York.

The buyer was none other than Larry Gagosian.

Art markets’ visibility: the alliance between Artprice, Artron and Cision

2019/01/11 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

An obsolescent hegemony and the birth of competition.

By Aude de Kerros.

At the beginning of 2019, the international art market is experiencing an evolution that will likely have a profound impact on the existing global art market system. The event underlying this structural change is an unexpected and unprecedented strategic business alliance between three companies based on the creation and operation of databanks. Two are specialized in the field of art – both with an online sales capacity – and a third (Cision) selects information from the international press and feeds that information to the press and media directly concerned.

The alliance comes at the end of a decade that has seen a technological revolution in communication and a profound change in geopolitical power relations. Moreover, a clivage has emerged between a very high-end mainstream art market with global visibility, the ‘contemporary-international’ art market, and a whole series of ‘local’ markets that present an art considered ‘non-innovative’ that falls outside the sophisticated and intellectualised ‘art world’. It is in this context that a new partnership has been negotiated between Artprice, Artron and Cision.

– The creation of this game-changing triumvirate was triggered by the listed French art info company Artprice, founded and steered by a larger-than-life and non-conformist personality dedicated to the principle of maintaining his liberty and independence. Thierry Ehrmann is the creator of the most comprehensive databank on the global art market, an exhaustive databank that covers both ‘global financial art’ and ‘local non-sophisticated’ arts. The inclusion of the latter field is a mission that the French state has distinctly eschewed (at its own national level), since its archiving work only covers ‘state-recognised’ conceptual/contemporary artists.

– Artron is a Chinese institutionnal company founded in 1993 that aims to promote art and creation in China, providing all of the requisite tools to foster a thriving art sector in a country where the auction market was almost non-existent under the communist regime. It has also built up a comprehensive database that includes all currents of Chinese art.

– Cision is a press observer and distributor, headquartered in Chicago, providing tailored relationships with global media outlets to the world’s influencers and communication strategists.

CARTELS AND MONOPOLIES BEWARE!

Thierry Ehrmann is a Robin Hood character with a strong allergy to monopolies and intermediaries which he hounds relentlessly. Over the years he has turned this allergy into a positive mission to release the art world from its economic and intellectual predators. By analysing the data collected in the Artprice databanks he realised that the high-end global art market, referenced in New York, has a hegemonic visibility around the entire globe; a supply market, without real roots and without any real competition. He also realised that the ‘real’ market, a demand driven market, is infinitely larger, but under-developed due to a lack of visibility.

By contrast, the hegemonic market thrives through a highly interconnected international network, sharing common interests, holding fairs, auctions, exhibitions in museums and international galleries. Its business model combines two levels: a market that closely resembles a pure financial market, secured by collectors operating within a closed circuit, and a mass market occupied by derivative arty objects produced industrially in limited series in all prices and formats (from gallery replicas to keyrings and t-shirts). This latter market effectively translates the original works – which often fetch massive sums at auctions – into ‘promotional icons’.

Together (i.e. the high-end plus its low-end sister), this market owes its legitimacy to its profitability and its various different utilities: simultaneously a ‘social’ and a business platform, generating urban events, tourist attractions, fuelling the museum industry etc. The Global Financial Art system, which provides incomes for a lot of people, also benefits from donations (tax-free of course) from patrons, companies, institutions, as well as subsidies from certain states.

For Thierry Ehrmann, this market is built around a cluster of arcane agreements, in its own image

His databanks of objective information give him prime access to the market’s key information and the analytical firepower behind an inspired strategy. He was the first to note that China had become the world’s leading art market as early as 2009, ahead of America. This fact has attracted little comment, with the media pretending it is insignificant. Thierry Ehrmann quickly understood the impossibility of claiming ownership to a planetary databank that did not include data from the Chinese market, which is difficult to access because of the language obstacle and the Internet barrier. This reality inspired Ehrmann to create links with the Chinese agency Artron and, subsequently, to form an official alliance with Artron in September 2018.

As Artprice has already done for the other countries, it is working towards making its art market data accessible to the entire planet. Apart from anything else, this mission involves the translation and documentation of the spellings of proper names that change from one language to another. To make this possible, Artprice needed a unique and exceptional authorization to cross the frontier of the Chinese Internet. The resulting fluidity of information has generated an online commerce of artworks, via WeChat¹, across national borders, a platform that the Chinese are familiar with, especially for luxury purchases.

In 2017 Artprice had already anticipated a massive proliferation in the flow of information and a massive expansion of the art market’s clientele by making its data available to the smartphones (much of it free of charge) of anyone interested in art. This evolution is at the very core of a strategy designed to turn the art market into a demand driven online market, without the intervention of intermediaries.

However for a real revolution to take place, raw information is not enough; it also requires analytical tools. This is the need to which Artprice has crucially responded, creating numerous equally accessible indices that allow an understanding of the art market from a variety of different angles.

Understanding the art market is no longer reserved for specialists and experts. In short, it has been demystified.

The last hurdle to jump is that of the existing monopoly on visibility: to do this Ehrmann and his teams have decided to feed global data from the art market to all journalists and media around the world. This new project was initiated by a deal signed on 26 December 2018 between Artprice and the 120-year press mogul Cision to create the world’s first press agency dedicated to the art market: Art Press Agency. The ‘Access-to-Information’ revolution that this deal represents is shaking the foundations of the existing system: the various different art markets, be they supply or demand, global or local, are now all in competition.

FROM A HEGEMONIC ‘GLOBAL’ ART MARKET TO A ‘PLURALISTIC’ ART MARKET COMPETING ON EQUAL TERMS

And so… Artprice’s initiatives, along with Artron and Cision, are founded on the perception and acknowledgement of the ‘real’ global market, one that it is hidden behind today’s highly visible ‘global-financial’ market. Indeed, the Chinese, who currently spend the most on art, make no discrimination between the various artistic currents. They consume ultra high-end art, well above the million-dollar threshold, including conceptual art validated in New York, as well as art created by artists with purely aesthetic concerns in the long tradition of art history (particularly their own). Indeed, the Chinese market is today far more geopolitically representative of the true diversity of art in the world than the New York marketplace.

The ‘global-financial’ art that has established itself as the reference since the collapse of the Soviet Union has lost its power to provoke and surprise, despite its astronomical prices. The idea of ‘global culture and art’ as a historical fatality has been questioned by many countries for a decade. Global Kitsch art now looks like the last metamorphosis of a 20th century utopia that imagined the art of the future as being homogeneous and the same for everyone on the whole planet.

This utopic vision, which appears to have emerged alongside the proclamation of ‘socialist, international and communist realist art’, nowadays appears to be confronted with the latest incarnation of ‘global, international and financial conceptual art’… two sides of the same coin that reduces the world to an economic materialism supposed to explain everything.

Artprice: the Top 20 female artists in the global Art Market during 2018

2019/01/07 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Artprice: the Top 20 female artists in the global Art Market during 2018

Although women account for half of the world’s population (and therefore half of the world’s intelligence, sensitivity and inspiration…), they are still substantially under-represented on the global Art Market. Looking back, women did not become a regular part of art history’s narrative until the end of the 19th century. However, today’s secondary art market is still largely dominated by men.

According to Artprice’s founder/CEO thierry Ehrmann, “the generation now imposing itself on the secondary market – that of artists under 40 – is fortunately closing the gender gap”. In 2018, the Top 5 artists (by auction turnover) born after 1978 include three women. This highly symbolic transformation of the market is being accompanied by an increasing recognition of major female signatures who are gradually being admitted into the Pantheon of the high-end Art Market, with big-number results in auction rooms.

Top 20 Female Artists by Auction Turnover in 2018

1. Yayoi Kusama (1929-)

Auction turnover: $102,532,176

The top selling female artist in the global Art Market – all periods of creation combined – is none other than an 89-year-old Japanese woman who has spent 40 years living in a psychiatric hospital. A key figure in 20th-century art with her obsessive creative practices, Yayoi Kusama’s work is in many respects close to Art Brut.

Moreover, this is the fourth consecutive year in which Kusama has generated the highest annual auction turnover for a female artist in the world. In 2018, twenty-one of her works fetched sums above the million-dollar threshold worldwide: fifteen in Hong Kong, three in New York, two in London and one in Seoul.

2. Joan Mitchell (1926-1992)

Auction turnover: $83,925,120

On 1 May 2018 the David Zwirner Gallery announced publicly that it now has exclusive representation rights with the Joan Mitchell Foundation. A first solo exhibition of the artist is scheduled in New York in 2019, but the Market has already reacted very positively. On 17 May 2018, her Blueberry (1969) buried its estimate of $5-7 million when it fetched $16.6 million at Christie’s in New York, setting a new auction record for the American artist.

Auction turnover: $66,666,700

4. Cecily Brown (1969-)

Auction turnover: $32,480,908

Following a remarkable performance in 2017, the English artist Cecily Brown emerged as one of the major figures of the Contemporary Art Market in 2018. On 16 May, her painting Suddenly Last Summer (1999) fetched $6,776,200 at Sotheby’s New York, setting an impressive new record. The canvas, originally acquired from the Gagosian in 2000, was sold in May 2010 for $1,082,500, at Sotheby’s New York. Since then its value has multiplied by six in just eight years.

5. Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010)

Auction turnover: $24,616,761

6. Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975)

Auction turnover: $19,947,414

7. Agnes Martin (1912-2004)

Auction turnover: $17,208,649

8. Tamara De Lempicka (1898-1980)

Auction turnover: $16,382,986

9. Jenny Saville (1970-)

Auction turnover: $13,225,583

British artists are definitely in vogue on the Art Market. Jenny Saville (known for her participation in the Young British Artists movement) is today the most expensive living female artist in the world. A few months after David Hockney earned the same title in the male artists category, Saville saw her Propped (1992) acquired for $12.5 million at Sotheby’s in London. The price of her works has a lot to do with scarcity of supply: only 41 paintings by Jenny Saville have been auctioned in 20 years.

10. Mary CASSATT (1844-1926)

Auction turnover: $10,317,602

11. Maria Elena VIEIRA DA SILVA (1908-1992)

Auction turnover: $7,707,244

12. Bridget RILEY (1931-)

Auction turnover: $7,103,990

13. Camille CLAUDEL (1864-1943)

Auction turnover: $6,996,741

14. Cindy SHERMAN (1954-)

Auction turnover: $6,755,382

15. Elizabeth PEYTON (1965-)

Auction turnover: $6,123,286

16. Elisabeth FRINK (1930-1993)

Auction turnover: $4,390,860

17. Christine AY TJOE (1973-)

Auction turnover: $3,989,020

In 2018 the Indonesian artist Christine Ay Tjoe continued her ascent with 13 lots sold at auction and no unsolds. Since 2008, her price index has risen +1,200%.

Artprice ‘s price index for Christine Ay Tjoe

18. Niki DE SAINT-Phalle (1930-2002)

Auction turnover: $3,966,458

19. Njideka Akunyili CROSBY (1983-)

Auction turnover: $3,868,973

The great revelation of the year 2017, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, has just finished twelve reassuring months on the auction market. Three paintings and a drawing were sold, either within or above the pre-sale estimates. The decline in supply is also good news as it suggests collectors do not expect a drop in her prices. This situation is ideal for the young painter who saw the prices of her paintings rocket after her exhibition at the Victoria Miro gallery in London in October 2016.

20. Louise NEVELSON (1899-1988)

Auction turnover: $3,845,112

The year 2019 is starting with very positive news for Artprice’s future… and the news takes effect as of 1 January 2019.

2019/01/02 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

According to thierry Ehrmann Founder and CEO of Artprice: “For multiple reasons, 2019 is commencing with an excellent outlook for Artprice and its loyal shareholders over the last 21 years”.

The first exceptionally positive news is our penetration of the Chinese Art Market with its huge potential to generate new customers for Artprice. This move will substantially boost our sales turnover via the sale of Artprice subscriptions offered in China as of 1 January 2019 via Artron.net, our institutional partner. Artron is widely recognised as the most powerful actor on the Chinese Art Market.

The second positive news is that a week ago Artprice signed a deal with the most powerful press network in the world that will project Artprice’s hot market news to 1.8 billion people on a weekly basis.

This exceptional partnership has been concluded with the world’s leading newswire, Cision (PR NEWSWIRE). Cision’s software allows users to identify key influencers, craft and distribute strategic content, and measure meaningful impact (see Cision’s official press release Artprice and Cision Enter Distribution Partnership at https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/artprice-and-cision-enter-distribution-partnership-300770437.html (Cision is listed on the NYSE, code CISN).

This partnership will allow Artprice to project highly pertinent Art Market News and Information on a weekly basis. Cision’s electronic newswire will communicate all of Artprice’s unique market indices… the Artprice100®, the Artprice Global Index®, the AMCI®, etc… in real time.

By reaching more than 1.8 billion targeted people in 19 languages on 5 continents (representing 90% of the world’s GDP), this move unquestionably strengthens Artprice’s position as World Leader in Art Market Information.

Thanks to this massive news & info distribution agreement, Artprice will project its unique know-how and understanding of the Art Market, reaching new art fans, collectors and professionals whose geographical location previously hindered an economical distribution of the Artprice brand and its databases.

This obstacle has now been eliminated, allowing Artprice to be the ‘glocal’ reference for the Art Market. (‘Glocal’ is a combination of two words: global and local. It is often used to indicate a global marketing strategy with local relays. Hence the dictum “Think global, act local”).

Artprice was the global leader… but there were still a number of ‘local’ economic ‘white zones’.

As of 1 January 2019, Artprice, with its loyal institutional partner Artron, will irrigate the 34 divisions / provinces of the People’s Republic of China with its paid databank content.

With Cision, no territory – whatever the continent – will escape Artprice… now a truly ‘Glocal’ and unique reference for the Art Market.

In short, with Cision, Artprice has become unavoidable at the global level for all matters relating to the Art Market because Cision has the world’s largest and most reliable press release network that can identify key influencers. Art Press Agency® and Artmarket.com is now the world’s leading art press agency dedicated to the Art Market.

Beijing – Art Market: Artprice launches subscriptions via the Artron.net website in China on 1 January 2019

2018/12/19 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Beijing – Art Market: Artprice launches subscriptions via the Artron.net website in China on 1 January 2019

Beijing – following the mention of different dates by third parties, Artprice wishes to clarify today, December 18, that the official start date of marketing of Artprice subscriptions in China via our loyal institutional partner Artron (9 years of collaboration) is 1 January 2019 (not a holiday in China).

As of that date, Artprice will appear on Artron.net’s main home page, in next to the Artron logo, (see twitter image – source Artron):

Artron.net is the world’s leading art website with 5.4 billion visits per year.

Artprice, which has its own Chinese WeChat account, notes that according to WeChat stats ‘immediate purchase’ amounts debited to the accounts (QR Code) of WeChat users are credited in real time to Artprice’s bank accounts. This is standard practice for the 988 million WeChat users in China.

To fully meet the payment requirements of Chinese Internet users, Artprice also offers an Alipay platform that it has developed, enabling it to reach 1.2 billion users worldwide who generate 300 million transactions per day. (Source Alipay – Alibaba Group)

Alipay is also a real-time payment system platform running on a QR Code system. The seller provides a Qrcode, which the buyer scans with his mobile to accept the transaction. The payment is made instantly and the invoice arrives by email or text message.

On the basis of these payment systems and Artprice’s historic new deal with Artron (with 10 agreements in principle that go way beyond the contract), combined with Artron’s core stats (at December 2018, Artron – the world’s leading art website and leading art book printer – had 3 million professional members with 5.4 billion visits per year), Artprice is anticipating a very substantial growth in sales as of 2019.

As of end January 2019, Artprice will communicate a calculated projection of its sales turnover for 2019.

Over nine years, Artprice has translated hundreds of millions of data from its data banks into Mandarin. The computer ergonomics developed by Artprice specifically for China and for smartphones is designed for mobile Internet (88% of Chinese Internet users). In June 2018, China already had no less than 1.1 billion 4G users (Source INA).

According to thierry Ehrmann, Artprice’s CEO/Founder, “As previously announced, Artron has produced several videos that highlight – beyond our financial and economic collaboration – the “cultural merger” of our two groups. This short video accurately reflects Artron’s vision of Artprice”

https://vimeo.com/305021641

Artprice’s Chairman, thierry Ehrmann, and its senior executives recently returned from several days of intense work at Artron’s headquarters in Beijing where discussions focused on accelerating and implementing, as quickly as possible, all the agreed strategic and commercial initiatives that will inevitably generate very positive results in terms of turnover and the expansion of Artprice’s client base… not to mention shareholder value.

Artron and its Chairman Wan Jie gave the Artprice team an exceptionally respectful, warm and loyal welcome and introduced Artprice to China’s top-level institutional leaders, the country’s principal Art Market players and all of Artron’s 3,500 employees.

These face-to-face introductions are an essential step in Artprice’s bid to fructify the enormous potential of the Chinese market in a fast and optimal manner. In 2018, China accounted for 45% of global online transactions, generating 12 times more online transactions than the United States. China has a huge advantage over the West because it is building its market economy directly on the Internet (Source GEAB / LEAP 2020).

Speaking in front of his senior executives and top management, Wan Jie – at the head his Artron empire and probably the most powerful player in China’s Art Market – reiterated his unfailing personal friendship and loyalty vis-à-vis Artprice’s founder-Chairman, thierry Ehrmann.

This fact deserves emphasis as Chinese custom usually prohibits such ‘departures’ from accepted business protocol.

As China has become the global Art Market’s leading marketplace over the past decade, it naturally represents a fascinating new market for Artprice.

The development of mobile internet in China has been exceptionally fast and in June 2018 the country boasted 1.1 billion 4G users. Thanks to the Chinese government’s Made in China plan, China is currently set to become the world leader in 5G technology (Source INA).

In 2017, China’s digital economy accounted for nearly 33% of national GDP. In this context, the role played by private companies as catalysts of innovation has been clearly identified as crucial to the development and growth of China’s digital economy. In short, China’s key economic and industrial actors are closely associated with the State in the transformation of China into an ‘information society’. Thus, in 2017, China’s digital economy accounted for nearly 33% of national GDP. (source INA).

About the Artron Group:

“Artron Art Group (Artron), a comprehensive cultural industrial group founded in 1993, is committed to inheriting, enhancing and spreading art value. Based on abundant art data, Artron provides art industry and art fans with professional service and experience of quality products by integrated application of IT, advanced digital science and innovative crafts and materials. Having produced more than 60,000 books and auction catalogues, Artron is the world’s largest art book printer with a total print volume of 300 million a year. It has more than 3 million professional members in the arts sector and an average of 15 million daily visits, making it the world’s leading art website. Founded in 1993, the Artron Art Group is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. It is the first choice for art professionals, investors, collectors and art fans in general wishing to discover and/or participate in the art world or the art market. Founded in 1993, Artron Art Group is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.”

According to the Artron Group and its founder-Chairman Mr. Wan Jie “After 7 years of cooperation, Artron and Artprice have optimised their cooperation regarding the Chinese and Western art markets. The founders and Chairmen of both companies, Mr. Wan Jie and Mr. Thierry Ehrmann, with their enthusiasm for art, will create a Silk Road linking the Chinese and Western art markets on the principle of respect and mutual cooperation. The two groups will build a global, diversified and professional exchange platform in the Art Market, which will ultimately promote the sustainable development of the Global Art Market.

Artprice : +4,3 % pour l’Artprice100©, artistes « blue-chips » du Marché de l’Art, dans un contexte économique fragile

2018/12/13 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Artprice : +4,3 % pour l’Artprice100©, artistes « blue-chips » du Marché de l’Art, dans un contexte économique fragile

L’indice S&P500 oscille depuis le début de l’année 2018 sans véritablement parvenir à retrouver le chemin de la croissance. Sur les 11 premiers mois, l’indice boursier américain de référence affiche une progression de +2,4 % seulement, qui semble aujourd’hui très fragile et pourrait encore faiblir au cours des prochains jours.

Selon thierry Ehrmann, président fondateur d’Artprice : « Face à cette performance, le Marché de l’Art continue de former une alternative d’investissement toujours plus séduisante. L’indice Artprice100© réalise une hausse de +4,3 % depuis le premier janvier 2018. Sans surprise, il fait bien mieux que le Marché de l’Art dans son ensemble, qui reste une valeur sûre sur le long terme mais présente une baisse de -1,9 % sur l’année 2018. Plus que jamais, les acheteurs se montrent exigeants dans leurs achats d’œuvres d’art. S’ils sont prêts à faire grimper les prix pour les œuvres exceptionnelles, de qualité et de provenance irréprochables, ils n’hésitent pas à en laisser passer beaucoup d’autres. Ce nouveau comportement est profitable aux grandes signatures, sur lesquelles se concentrent toujours plus l’offre ».

(Voir le graphe :
https://imgpublic.artprice.com/img/wp/sites/11/2018/12/2018-artprice100.png)

Principe

Collectionner les oeuvres des artistes les plus performants du Marché de l’Art constitue une stratégie d’investissement simple et systématique, qui vise à bénéficier des rendements du marché haut-de-gamme tout en maîtrisant les risques financiers. Sur base de ce principe, l’Artprice100© a été imaginé comme un portefeuille dédié aux ‘blue chips’ du Marché de l’Art ; autrement dit, un portefeuille représentatif des artistes majeurs dont les œuvres circulent abondamment. Si ce portefeuille peut s’avérer compliqué à réaliser en pratique, il présente des qualités évidentes d’un point de vue théorique. L’Artprice100© se veut un outil comparable aux indices boursiers de référence : S&P500, FTSE100, CAC 40, DAX, NIKKEI 225, etc.

La composition de l’Artprice100© est fixée au 1er janvier de chaque année, afin de refléter l’évolution progressive du Marché de l’Art. Il rassemble les cent artistes les plus performants aux enchères sur les cinq années précédentes, artistes qui répondent de surcroît à un critère essentiel de liquidité : au moins dix œuvres homogènes vendues chaque année. Ainsi, malgré un produit de ventes de 450 m$ l’an dernier, Léonard de Vinci n’intègre pas la composition du portefeuille en 2018 du à la rareté de ses œuvres dans des collections privées. Ce critère de liquidité ne diminue cependant pas en rien la domination des artistes considérés. A eux seuls en effet, les cent artistes formant l’Artprice100© pèsent 73 % du chiffre d’affaires mondial aux enchères en 2018.

L’Artprice100© bénéficie de l’alliance Artprice-Artron son puissant partenaire chinois, qui lui permet une couverture implacable de la Chine.

Composition

Six changements ont été opérés pour l’année 2018, soit deux de plus qu’il y a un an. Ce roulement relativement important (6% de la composition) traduit les rapides ajustements du Marché de l’Art aujourd’hui. La rareté des belles pièces de certains artistes peut expliquer une partie des entrées et des sorties, mais il ne fait pas de doute que l’évolution des préférences des collectionneurs sur le long terme participe aussi à ces changements. Le succès croissant de Tsuguharu Foujita et Günther Uecher auprès des collectionneurs du monde entier laisse présager une place durable pour ces deux signatures dans la composition de l’Artprice100©.

Entrée	Sortie
Joseph Albers	Francis Bacon
Max Beckmann	Lu Yanshao
Giorgio De Chirico	Agnes Martin
Tsuguharu Foujita	Piet Mondrian
Paul Klee	Pan Tianshou
Gunther Uecker	Yu Fei’an

Trois artistes chinois (tous les trois actifs pendant la première moitié du Xxème siècle) sortent cette année du portefeuille. Il en reste cependant encore 17 en 2018 parmi les cent artistes les plus performants du marché. Par ailleurs, l’importance de Zao Wou-Ki (3ème dans le classement provisoire 2018, toutes périodes de création confondues) ne cesse de croître sur le Marché de l’Art international.

Picasso reste le poids le plus lourd de la composition (7,4 %), suivi par Warhol (6,7%), Zhang Daqian (4,7%), Qi Baishi (4,1%). Sur le long terme, la constitution de l’Artprice100 révèle par ailleurs un nombre d’artiste vivants en constante augmentation : 17 cette année, contre 12 en 2000. Gerhard Richter est le premier d’entre eux (3,3%).

Le prix des œuvres de Georg Baselitz connaît une augmentation particulièrement remarquable, à commencer par ses dessins qui ont intégré cette année les prestigieuses sessions de jour à Londres et New York. A titre d’exemple, Untitled (Lovers) (2001) a été vendu par Phillips Londres le 9 mars 2018 pour 112 500$. En novembre 2016, la même œuvre avait été acquise pour 32 500$ seulement, chez Veritas à Lisbonne. La valeur de ce dessin a donc plus que triplé en moins de deux ans, bénéficiant – entre autres – d’une bien meilleure visibilité.

Beijing: creation of Artprice and Artron teams to conquer the Chinese Art Market, multiply Artprice’s turnover and promote Chinese art in the West.

2018/11/27 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Beijing: creation of Artprice and Artron teams to conquer the Chinese Art Market, multiply Artprice’s turnover and promote Chinese art in the West.

Beijing – Artprice’s Chairman, thierry Ehrmann, and its senior executives have just returned from several days of intense work at Artron’s headquarters in Beijing where discussions focused on accelerating and implementing, as quickly as possible, all the agreed strategic and commercial initiatives that will inevitably generate very positive results in terms of turnover and the expansion of Artprice’s client base… not to mention shareholder value.

Artron and its Chairman Mr. Wan Jie gave the Artprice team an exceptionally respectful, warm and loyal welcome and introduced Artprice to China’s top-level institutional leaders, the country’s principal Art Market players and all of Artron’s 3,500 employees.

These face-to-face introductions are an essential step in Artprice’s bid to fructify the enormous potential of the Chinese market in a fast and optimal manner.

In 2018, China accounted for 45% of global online transactions, generating 12 times more online transactions than the United States. China has a huge advantage over the West because it is building its market economy directly on the Internet (Source GEAB / LEAP 2020).

Speaking in front of his senior executives and top management, Mr. Wan Jie – at the head of his Artron empire and probably the most powerful player in China’s Art Market – reiterated his unfailing personal friendship and loyalty vis-à-vis Artprice’s founder-Chairman, thierry Ehrmann.

This fact deserves emphasis as Chinese custom usually prohibits such ‘departures’ from accepted business protocol.

As China has become the global Art Market’s leading marketplace over the past decade – Artprice had been the first to report it in 2009 –, it naturally represents a fascinating new market for Artprice.

China has grand ambitions:

As the French language business weekly Challenges headlined last week: “China, the giant that wants to dominate the World”. China is still accelerating with its “Made in China 2025” plan and its “New Silk Roads”.

As a global company, Artprice made a point to successfully enter the Chinese market, now the last great ‘eldorado’ for any group whose market is global.

According to Artprice’s founding Chairman, thierry Ehrmann, “I appreciated the emergence of China’s global power, its insatiable appetite and its desire for leadership a long time ago! Over the past nine years, Artprice has translated hundreds of millions of data from its proprietary databases into Mandarin. However, observant visitors to our famous head offices (L’Organe Museum of Contemporary Art at the “Abode of Chaos” [dixit The New York Times]) over the past 30 years will have noticed thousands of artworks – including my own sculptures and paintings – directly or indirectly referring to the ancient culture and history of China.”

“Unlike many, I am not surprised to see China gradually becoming the world’s leading economic power. Artprice has decided to enter the Chinese market through the front door with a humility that has clearly been lacking in many Western listed companies. Any other strategy would have been a fatal mistake. I therefore wish to reiterate my thanks to Wan Jie, Artron’s Chairman, and all his colleagues for making this open and proper strategy possible after 9 years of close collaboration!”

Thanks to Artron’s expert advice, Artprice fully complies with the specifications of China’s “Great Electronic Wall” and its terms and conditions: Law CL97 (1997) as well as its “Golden Shield” protocol (1998).

In order to comply with law CL97, Artprice spent two years rewriting all its databank code in order to eliminate all US and European corporate source code containing cookies, tags, metadata, backdoor elements (amongst other elements).

Since Monday morning, Artprice is one of the very few Western companies to possess a WeChat profile reserved for companies operating under Chinese law. WeChat is used by more than 1.8 billion Chinese Internet users around the world.

The statistics concerning China are eye-watering: a population of over 1.4 billion people, 5 times that of the United States, a GDP growth of 6.5% this year and, regarding specifically Artprice, a colossal art market with a massive pool of living artists (1 million in China versus 120,000 for the USA and Europe combined) and an almost infinite number of artworks. China’s art market is animated by tens of millions of art buyers, professionals and collectors, many of whom are Artron customers and therefore, going forward, potential customers for Artprice.

The title of Artron’s press release: “Artron and Artprice team up to create the art ‘silk road’”, (the ‘silk road’ notion is massively used by the Chinese State) makes perfect sense. The New Silk Road is part of China’s soft power strategy (OBOR for One Belt, One Road) to conquer the world economically.

China had initiated the project. According to the IMF, the World Bank and the CIA World Factbook, China is the world’s leading economic power in terms of GDP-PPP in 2017. According to CNN, this project encompasses 68 countries representing 4.8 billion people and 62% of global GDP.

Artron is a very powerful company and, for those interested in Art or the Art Market, Artron is completely unavoidable in China. Artron is not only the world’s leading publisher of Fine Art books and auction catalogues (with more than 400 million books/catalogues printed); it is also a major scientific laboratory – with premises in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen – and a technical and scientific knowledge base that easily rivals that of Silicon Valley.

Its scanning processes in virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality have reached the very highest level of global sophistication and the company’s scientific and cultural innovation has been rewarded with more than 800 prizes and awards for excellence.

Artron.Net is the most respected brand in the Chinese art world. It has more than 3 million professional members in the arts sector and an average of 15 million daily visits, making it the world’s leading art website. It is the first choice for art professionals, investors / collectors and art lovers. Founded in 1993, the Artron Art Group is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

The involvement of Artron and its Chairman Mr. Wan Jie in Art in China is completely uncontested. Mr. Wan Jie is a ‘protector’ of Beijing’s famous 798 Factory which enjoys global visibility and was visited by Artprice staff.

He is also Vice-Chairman and Founder of the Institute of the famous Forbidden City, where he and thierry Ehrmann visited government offices that are closed to the public during the recent trip to Beijing.

The was also an opportunity for Artprice’s Chairman thierry Ehrmann to see first-hand Mr. Wan Jie’s involvement and support for the protection and diffusion of ancient masterpieces of Chinese art in the Imperial Granaries. These superb works have been “returned to the people” thanks to Artron’s scientific breakthroughs and ultra high-speed Internet which allows these masterpieces of humanity to be contemplated in a virtual reality context, with the support of the Chinese State.

During the trip, the Artprice team met some of China’s world-renowned artists including Fang Lijun (born in 1963) ranked 623/700,000 in 2018 and Zhang Xiaogang (born in 1958) ranked 121/700,000 artists in 2018 in Artprice’s global ranking.

Artprice’s press agency, ArtMarketInsight, together with Artron’s editors, have decided to post around thirty daily dispatches in both Chinese and English aimed at combining information about the Chinese art market with information about the Western art market.

Our various meetings and visits in Beijing left no doubt in our minds as to the power of China, the extraordinary wealth and depth of its history (over 4,000 years), and the country’s incredible advance over the West in terms of technology… a vision and an understanding of China that completely disqualifies the ignorant visions of the Chinese Empire that can still be found in the West to this day.

A geo-cultural analysis is not interested in the percentage of GDP spent on arms, but rather in the depth of the countries’ respective histories and the relative strengths and weaknesses of the protagonist civilizations.

Among its numerous manifestations, China’s ‘soft power’ is also focused on the Art Market. In this context, Artron’s alliance with Artprice is part of Xi Jinping’s “BRI” (belt and road initiative) launched in 2013 (aka the “Silk Road” in Europe). According to CNN, this project encompasses 68 countries representing 4.8 billion people and 62% of global GDP with an investment of close to $8 trillion.

It is therefore a great honour for Artprice to have been chosen by Artron and its Chairman Mr. Wan Jie. Artron appreciates the work conducted by Artprice and has validated its place as World Leader in Art Market Information. That is why Artprice subscriptions will be distributed in China, with a huge potential for new customers. Artprice’s data will contribute to the fluidity of the Chinese and, more broadly, the Asian Art Market, in a context where ‘Greater Asia’ will account for 70% of the global Art Market by 2019.

According to Artron, Artprice’s econometric expertise associated with Artron’s proprietary data will not only provide an extraordinary boost to the fluidity of China’s Art Market (throughout its numerous provinces and autonomous regions), it will also greatly enhance and facilitate the work conducted by the country’s tax, administrative and customs authorities.

According to Artron and its Chairman Mr. Wan Jie, the only legitimate way to approach this colossal mission was to team up with a recognised and globally authoritative third-party certifier like Artprice, as World Leader in Art Market Information.

Never mentioned in the press or identified by economists or sociologists, this massive new market that Artprice is entering is typical of the kind of domestic market that only a central player in China’s Art Market could have been aware of.

China’s Provincial-level administrative divisions are the highest level administrative divisions in the People’s Republic of China. There are 34 such divisions, classified as 23 provinces, 4 municipalities, 5 autonomous regions, and 2 Special Administrative Regions.

Artprice subscriptions sold exclusively by Artron in China will therefore reach directly into the heart of the need identified by Artron within China’s domestic market. Similarly, Artprice will be accessible via Artron.Net’s home page and all the Chinese social networks where Artron is omnipresent.
Artron’s Chairman Mr. Wan Jie has already introduced Artprice to some very promising commercial contacts including the Chairman of China Guardian, China’s first publicly-traded Chinese auction house. China Guardian needs high-end Artprice subscriptions for its VIP customers as well as Artprice’s monthly analyses for its internal operations.

Thanks to Artron’s unique technology in the field of scanning parchments, manuscripts and collection catalogues from the previous century, Artprice will finally be able to offer all its customers extremely high value-added data such as the hundreds of thousands of handwritten notes by Hippolyte Mireur and the various pre-17th century documentary collections that Artprice owns, which are too fragile to be scanned using Western scanning devices.

With this major breakthrough, Artprice will further strengthen its position as World Leader in Art Market Information.

In the context of this extraordinary alliance with Artron and the massive potential for new customers in China, Artprice is anticipating a major boost to its 2019 sales and profits.

For the launch and marketing of its services and databases in China, Artprice will benefit from all of Artron’s logistical resources in terms of communication, via the Internet, as well as the physical world, thanks to its power, its reputation and its innumerable electronic and/or commercial networks throughout Greater Asia.

In this context, Artprice, with the assistance of Artron, has just translated 125 million data into the Chinese currency, the Renmimbi (RMB). Naturally the primary objective of this translation process is to facilitate the purchase of its data by its new Chinese clientele, presented by Artron. This captive clientele is accustomed to using Alipay and WeChat (1.8 billion users), two Chinese instant payment platforms (QR Code in kiosk mode debiting the Chinese customer on behalf of Artprice) that are mandatory for Chinese buyers.

Numerous synergies have already been identified from our joint working sessions and the merging of Artprice/Artron teams with the similar functions. Given the extent of strategic, financial and economic involvement with Artron, Artprice has decided to appoint a Chief Executive responsible for its Chinese and Greater Asia operations, who will reside in Beijing and work closely with Artron’s teams.

The objective of this strategy is to accelerate the numerous initiatives recently engendered by Artprice’s and Artron’s contractual and promissory agreements. This informed decision has been carefully deliberated and enjoys unanimous support within the Group.

This appointment will, notably, make it easier to coordinate Artron’s and Artprice’s joint initiatives.

Artron’s goals are both transparent and unambiguous:

In Mr. Wan Jie’s own words: “The founders and Chairmen of the two companies, thierry Ehrmann and myself – with our enthusiasm for art – will create a Silk Road linking the Chinese and Western art markets on the principle of mutual respect and cooperation”.

“The two parties will build a global, diversified and professional exchange platform in the art market that will ultimately promote the sustainable development of the global art market.”

As this platform develops, Artprice’s Standardised Marketplace® will host millions of works by Chinese artists, provided by Artron, generating a massive increase in the number of artworks available online.

Artron’s Founding Chairman, Mr. Wan Jie, immediately understood the commercial interest and wisdom of Artprice’s ownership of the domain names artmarket.com, artmarket.net and artmarket.org, names that naturally and legally capture millions of “Art Market” queries on Google every month.

Artmarket.com, .net and .org therefore represent a decisive advantage in our quest to capture and drive the Global Art Market’s development on the Internet.

According to a bailiff’s report established by the Estelle PONS – Sarah MERGUI licensed court bailiff partnership in Lyon, Artmarket.com is the top result out of 1.82 billion results on Google.com (all languages combined) and therefore represents the best possible vector for Artprice to promote the works of 1 million Chinese artists and their tens of millions of works (already hosted by Artron) in the Western art market.

In view of the radical change in scope anticipated, Artprice is naturally moving towards an IPO of its subsidiary artmarket.com, its Standardized Marketplace®, on a Chinese stock exchange (Shanghai, Hong Kong, Shenzhen …) and not on an Anglo-Saxon exchange as originally planned.

According to thierry Ehrmann, “In 2019 Artprice will begin a new chapter alongside Artron that will trigger tremendous value for the global Art Market and our loyal shareholders. I am particularly pleased that my long-term strategy based on China’s rapid economic emergence will generate such positive results.”

“Today I am 56; when I first visited China I was 25. Since then I have spent 30 years patiently studying the Middle Kingdom. Beyond this satisfaction, I have had the immense pleasure of knowing Mr. Wan Jie, a founding Chairman with whom I share the same vision regarding the democratization and promotion of art in the world. In short… Artprice’s long march is about to reach its objectives for its shareholders and for the global art market.”

Artron will soon be publishing a documentary-report explaining all the meetings, discussions and agreements between the Artprice and Artron teams in Beijing. It will allow Western viewers to see images of Artron’s ultra-sophisticated scientific processes and appreciate the economic power of Artron in Greater Asia.

Artprice and Artron have just created an “Art Media Mogul”

2018/10/20 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Artprice and Artron have just created an “Art Media Mogul”

After seven years of collaboration, cultural exchange and regular trips between China and Europe, the two founders and presidents of Artron and Artprice, WAN Jie and thierry Ehrmann (who are exactly the same age and share the same commitments), share the same vision of the Global Art Market and the same passion for Art within the context of a loyal and mutually respectful friendship.

This long and infallible relationship has allowed both groups to work extremely quickly without cultural barriers to build an “Art Media Mogul”. By analogy, it’s exactly as if Baidu and Google were merging their respective knowledge.

Artron is the world’s largest printer of art books with more than 60,000 books and auction catalogues and a total publication volume of 300 million a year. Artron.net is the most respected brand in the Chinese art world. Artron is celebrating his 25^th anniversary. Established in 1993, Artron Art Group celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

Artprice is the world leader in Art Market Information since 1987 with 4,500,000 members

its databanks with information from 6,300 auctioneers and publishes a constant flow of art market trends for the world’s principal news agencies and approximately 7,200 international press publications. Artprice gives access to the world’s leading Standardised Marketplace for buying and selling art.

Last Friday, 12 October 2018, at Artprice’s head office in Lyon, France, Artron CEO and founder, WAN Jie, along with his staff, and Artprice CEO and founder, thierry Ehrmann, along with his staff, signed a historic agreement between the two groups.

Official video of the Friday 12 October 2018 signing ceremony and talks about the 10 new development agreements at Artprice’s head office in France:

A series of development agreements in principle (10, soon to be delivered) was discussed and. They go far beyond the exclusive distribution contract allowing for Artprice subscriptions to be marketed through the Chinese Intranet to millions of Chinese art collectors – via Artron Group’s customers – in China.

The scope of the 10 new development agreements discussed on 12 October 2018 will have a structural impact on the Global Art Market and on Art History, according to Art historians, in a way that no-one could have imagined. At the same time, Artprice and Artron are on the verge of an extraordinary evolution during which, from a shareholder perspective, Artprice will change in dimension – economically, financially and historically – as of 2019.

Artron produces all the catalogues of Chinese auction houses and handles the postal or digital mailing of these catalogues to their final customers. It will be possible for Artprice subscriptions, sold exclusively by Artron in China, to directly reach the target audience.

Similarly, Artprice will be featured on the homepage of Artron.Net which, according to many studies, is the most respected brand in the Chinese art world. Artron.net has more than 3 million members and receives more than 9 million online visitors per day (on average) or 270 million visitors per month to their website.

Via Artron, there exists a massive potential demand for Artprice subscriptions, including its unique decision support tools, because these tools allow China’s collectors, art professionals and its museum industry to acquire Western artworks with total assurance that they have complete mastery of all the relevant pricing information, the artist’s background and their ‘economic profile’.

Thanks to Artron’s expert advice, Artprice fully complies with the specifications and conditions of China’s Great Electronic Firewall (Law CL97 (1997) et seq.) and its Golden Shield protocol (1998).

To do so, Artprice has deployed the obligatory Alipay and WeChat Chinese payment platforms (1.8 billion users) for Chinese buyers after developing no less than 54 million pages in Mandarin on its Internet accessible data banks (which took seven years…).

In order to conform to Law CL97, Artprice spent two years rewriting all its data bank code in order to eliminate all US and European corporate source code containing cookies, tags, metadata or backdoor elements (amongst other elements).

In fact, thanks to Artron’s assistance and advice, Artprice has managed to achieve what the GAFA’s have tried on numerous occasions but failed. It has managed to penetrate the core of the Chinese Intranet.

What was discussed on Friday 12 October 2018 far exceeds what was originally planned. It follows on from a summit meeting held in March 2018 in Beijing between Artprice’s and Artron/AMMA’s executive teams, and should broaden the two companies’ Marketplaces.

Artron is the world’s largest printer of art books with more than 60,000 books and auction catalogues and a total publication volume of 300 million.

Read Artron’s official presentation: http://english.artron.com.cn/about/introduction/index

The exclusive contract for the distribution of Artprice subscriptions to Artron’s customers and the ten new additional agreements in principle can be implemented rapidly on the basis of the two companies’ mutual knowledge resulting from seven years of constant partnership, proving that long-term collaboration, patience and hard work are the keys to success.

In 2018, China accounted for 45% of global online art trade, conducting twelve times more online transactions than the United States. China has a huge advantage over the West because it is building its market economy directly on the Internet. Moreover, no-one doubts that China’s Art Market will account for 70% of the global Art Market as of 2020. Artprice, as the world leader in Art Market information, had to be central to its market. It should not be forgotten that France accounted for 4% of H1 2018 results.

For further information regarding the historical background of relations between Artprice and Artron/AMMA and its economic consequences, please refer to Artprice’s reference documents and, in particular, to its 2017 registration document filed with the AMF (France’s Financial Markets Supervisory Authority) on 1 June 2018 (in accordance with the Article 212-13 of the AMF’s General Regulations) and to Artprice’s Press Releases.

More details, video clips and photos of the signing and accompanying speeches will be online shortly on Artprice’s and Artron’s social networks.

Artprice: the 45th edition of the fiac! opens in a general climate of optimism, but…

2018/10/18 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

The 45th edition of the FIAC opens on Wednesday 17 October in a general climate of optimism. Artprice’s 2018 Contemporary Art Market Report reveals growth on a planetary scale, which the International Contemporary Art Fair in Paris and its numerous off shows are hoping will translate into buoyant sales:

Y-o-Y stability for Contemporary Art Market (2017/18 vs. 2016/17)

Global auction turnover rose +19% to a total of $1.9 billion
The number of lots sold increased by +17% with 66,850 adjudications
The global unsold rate remained stable at 39%
The Contemporary Art Price Index gained +18.5%

Artprice‘s 2018 Contemporary Art Market Report is available free of charge at

The Global Contemporary Art Market has posted exponential growth over the past 18 years (2017/18 vs. 2000/01)

Global turnover has risen +1,700% from $103 million to $1.9 billion
The number of auction transactions has multiplied 5.5x from 12,300 to 66,850 lots sold.
The top auction price has risen from $5.6 million to $110.5 million (respectively for Jeff Koons and Jean-Michel Basquiat)

Paris to put France back on the world stage

On the new global Art Market, driven essentially by Contemporary Art and dominated by New York, London, Beijing and Hong Kong (which account for 82% of the segment’s global auction turnover), Paris is striving to defend its historical position and influence. But France’s annual performance ($783 million in 2017) today represents only a little more than the turnover generated by a single prestige sale in New York at Sotheby’s or Christie’s.

According to Thierry Ehrmann, founder and CEO of Artprice, Paris is looking for a new lease of life. The City of Light wants to take full of advantage of its prestige and bring back buyers from around the world… it wants to recapture the high-end market. This ambition requires profound change and deep market restructuring, a process that has already begun. The future of Paris is today far more dependent on the FIAC and on the performances of the major Anglo-Saxon auction houses than on its traditional structures like Drouot and the Salon des Antiquaires.

All of the market’s key ‘makers’ at the Grand Palais

With 60 galleries French galleries among a total of 195, the FIAC ensures that French creation is not forgotten at the fair. Nevertheless, the FIAC’s real strength is its superbly international roster of galleries. The FIAC would not be the FIAC without Blum & Poe, Pace, Lisson, Paula Cooper, Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, Gladstone and of course David Zwirner, Gagosian, Marian Goodman, White Cube, etc.

The FIAC is an opportunity for all Contemporary Art lovers to see the world’s most prestigious galleries gathered in Paris. For the big galleries, it’s an opportunity to take part in a particularly selective meeting in one of the world’s most majestic venues: the nave of the Grand Palais, where the Salon des Refusés was historically held, and which nowadays also hosts Paris fashion week.

The major galleries who deserted the FIAC usually come back sooner or later; this year sees the return of the giant Hauser & Wirth, New York’s Canada and Paul Kasmin, the Belgian gallery Rodolphe Janssen (among others). But booths are expensive in the Grand Palais and the quality of the galleries is extremely high. Between those returning and those making their first appearance, the actual gallery turnover rate is only 16%, i.e. less than one booth in six.

If the FIAC’s international offer has legitimised the fair on the international circuit, it now resembles other major fairs like Art Basel, the Armory Show and especially the Frieze, organized just two weeks earlier on the other side of the Channel (only 2h on the Eurostar). Moreover, a third of the French galleries present at the FIAC were also present at the Frieze… so in the end, the FIAC’s French specificity is relatively small.

In fact, one of the Parisian fair’s principal attractions is probably the exceptional, majestic setting offered by the Grand Palais. However, this superb venue will again be closed for works between 2021 and 2023, so it does rather look as though the FIAC will have to adapt its strategy in order to maintain its influence and ensure that collectors visit the temporary structure that will be installed in the Champ-de-Mars under the Eiffel Tower during the Grand Palais’ closure.

Lots of auction records during Frieze

The auction houses have long understood the importance of organising prestige sales in parallel with the major fairs in order to take full advantage of the concomitant gathering of art professionals and collectors. Last year, 49 auctions were held in Paris (in 39 auction houses) during the FIAC week, generating $134 million in seven days (17% of French auction turnover on Fine Art sales in 2017). The year’s two best results were also hammered during the week on 19 and 20 October 2017: Alberto Giacometti’s Grande femme II (1960) fetched $29.4 million and Jean- Michel Basquiat’s Jim Crow (1986) sold for $17.7 million.

This year again Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Artcurial (the top three French auction houses) are organizing their most important sales of the year in Paris during the FIAC. Others, including Leclere and Cornette de Saint Cyr, are waiting till the end of the event, but will be active as of Monday 22 October.

The major houses hope the spillover from the Paris FIAC will be as beneficial as that from the Frieze on London sales earlier in the month. Banksy’s self-destructing Girl with Balloon (2006) attracted a lot of attention… but there were lots of other memorable results during the week, with three of the autumn’s top ten global auction records, so far. Among these, Jenny Saville’s Propped (1992) – a historical piece from the Young British Artists movement that was part of the Sensation exhibition in 1997 – fetched $12.4 million, a record for a living female artist, overtaking Cady Noland who held that record for three years after her Bluewald (1989) sold for $9.8 million at Christie’s New York on 11 May 2015.

9 Wang Xingwei (1969) – Still no A-mark (1998) – $1,272,479 – 30-09-2018 Sotheby’s Hong Kong

10 Lin Richard (1933-2011) – Painting Relief 12.12.63 – $1,165,161 – 30-09-2018 Sotheby’s Hong Kong

The Art Market nevertheless showed some signs of caution in London, particularly at Christie’s 4 October sale where two star lots, Jeff Koons’ Cracked Egg (Blue) (1994-2006) and Gerhard Richter’s Schädel (1983) failed to sell against estimates exceeding $10 million. However, overall, the initial results of the autumn season are extremely positive, often adding value, occasionally showing restraint… proving that the high-end market is capable of selecting the best pieces and of curbing price growth even for the most fashionable Contemporary artists.

The Paris major auction sales will therefore be held in a particularly favourable context. In addition to the annual sessions of 20th Century Art, the sale of the collections of Oscar Mairlot and Nathalie Seroussi at Sotheby’s and of Benedicte Pesle at Christie’s could well share the spotlight with the FIAC.

Artprice presents its 2018 Contemporary Art Market Report ahead of the Frieze and the FIAC: Plus 1,744% turnover growth in 18 years, an 8.1% annual yield.

Artprice presents its 2018 Contemporary Art Market Report ahead of the Frieze and the FIAC: Plus 1,744% turnover growth in 18 years, an 8.1% annual yield.

Artprice, founded and presided by thierry Ehrmann, achieves in close collaboration with its Chinese institutional partner the group Artron/AMMA (Art Market Monitor of Artron) founded and presided by WAN Jie, its 21st report.

A full market is now active on 5 continents.

The almost parallel increases over the 12 months to June 2018 in the Contemporary Art Market’s three main indicators (+19% global turnover, +17% lots sold and +18% in the segment’s price index) suggests a very rapid and balanced growth of Contemporary Art sales worldwide.

The average annual financial return, currently +8.1% on Contemporary works, looks very attractive indeed in the context of negative or near-zero rates that erode cash savings.

The Artprice Contemporary Art Market Report 2018, an indispensable tool for anyone attending the big autumn fairs, particularly the Frieze and the Fiac, is available free of charge at the following address:

N.B. for the purposes of our report

Contemporary Art = works created by artists born after 1945

Fine Art = painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, videos, prints, installations

Period analysed: 1 July 2017 – 30 June 2018

The 66,850 transactions hammered over the 12–month period reflect a market of unprecedented intensity. Since 2000/2001, the number of transactions has multiplied 5.5 times. Over the same period, global turnover has risen + 1,744% from $103 million to $1.9 billion. The average price of a Contemporary work has risen from $8,400 at the turn of the 21st century to $28,000 today. Moreover, today’s Contemporary Art Market offers unprecedented diversity: 20,335 artists born after 1945 recorded at least one auction result over the 12 month period, nearly five times more than in 2000/2001 (4,100 Contemporary artists).

According to thierry Ehrmann, Artprice’s founder and CEO, “We have had a period of restructuring that lasted roughly three years; but the Contemporary Art Market is now back on a much stronger footing. Although prices are indeed rising again, there is a much broader supply that allows a better selection of works… and the perfectly stable unsold rate, at 39%, guarantees a balanced market.”

The United Kingdom ($545 million) and mainland China ($298 million) both posted excellent turnover totals, up 55% and 15% respectively. On the other hand, the USA posted a 13% contraction versus the year-earlier period that was boosted by the exceptional record of $110.5 million for Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Untitled (1984).

London, New York, Beijing and Hong Kong alone account for 82% of global auction sales of Contemporary Art, from just 17% of the global lots sold.

The French market posted a remarkable performance with sales of Contemporary Art up 81% during the 12-month period to $71 million. In the rest of Europe, Germany (+40%), Italy (+31%) and Belgium (+27%) consolidated their 5th, 7th and 10th places respectively on the global Contemporary Art Market. Elsewhere, several countries contributed to the market’s growth around the globe: Japan (+22%), Australia (+15%), South Korea (+15%), South Africa (+25%).

Key figures:

Global turnover was up 19% to $1.9 billion
The number of lots sold rose by 17%, with 66,850 auction results
The global unsold rate remained stable at 39%
The Contemporary Art Price Index posted an increase of 18.5%
Since 2000/2001, global turnover has risen 1,744%, from $103 million to $1.9 billion
Since 2000/2001, the lots sold total has multiplied 5.5x from 12,300 to 66,850
Contemporary Art auction results were recorded in 59 countries last year
New York, London, Beijing and Hong Kong accounted for 82% of turnover, on 17% of global lots sold
Greater China (Hong Kong and Taiwan included) generated $480m, i.e. 26% of the global market
Europe had an exceptional year: France +81%, Germany +40%, Italy +31%
The Netherlands, Belgium and Austria each generated over $8 million
South Korea ($8 million) and the Philippines ($5 million) bring Southeast Asia into the global market
Australia ($10 million) and New Zealand ($5 million) are in the top 20 marketplaces
South Africa ($6 million) leads Africa, with Morocco and Nigeria far behind
The Middle East is represented by Turkey ($5 million), Iran ($3 million), UAE ($2 million) and Israel ($1 million)

1. General synopsis. Contemporary Art’s market performance

Available for free online, the new 2018 Artprice Contemporary Art Market Report provides decision support tools via four chapters that analyse the evolution, the organization and the latest trends in the Contemporary Art Market. The four chapters explore the hottest topics in the global market and provide answers to questions that any art lover, collector, professional or curator who is active in the Contemporary Art Market might have.

2. Artists’ prices

Stimulated by a sensational record of $110.5 million in May 2017, the Contemporary art Market has just ended a third consecutive semester of growth. The principal drivers of this growth are ever-stronger demand for works by the stars of Contemporary art and a proliferation of supply in a particularly favorable economic context.

3. Africa and its diasporas

From the construction of a market for African Contemporary art in France… to the explosion of African-American art in the United States: a brief look at the “African” wave sweeping across the entire Art Market.

4. In the news

She’s French, but has ‘emerged’ in England. Laure Prouvost already has a brilliant career with a superb CV: she studied at Central Saint Martins (cinema) and Goldsmiths College, received the Max Mara Award in 2011 followed by an exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery, before winning the famous Turner Prize in 2013.

Top 100 Contemporary works sold at auction (July 2017 – June 2018)

Top 500 Contemporary artists by auction turnover (July 2017 – June 2018)

Contemporary Art (12% of the global Art Market compared with just 2.8% in 2000) cannot be measured using the same yardstick we use for Impressionist or Modern Art. Over the same period, its auction turnover has increased +1,744% from $103 million to $1.9 billion. The popularity and prices indices of a Contemporary artist are highly sensitive to a range of different factors, constantly subject to the influence of events and “art news” in general.

In order to study this reality, Artprice – the world leader in art market information – has developed a new method of analysis and a range of decision support tools in collaboration with its econometrists, its editorial team and it art historians. The result is a methodology that provides optimum insight into the market’s price developments.

According to thierry Ehrmann, “The myth of the wretched artist is no longer relevant to the modern era and the old notion that the only good artist is a dead artist has been consigned to oblivion”.

This 2018 Contemporary Art Market Report (its 21st since 1997) goes straight to the heart of this fascinating issue… the role of artists in the modern era. I believe we can safely agree with the poetic understanding of this role enunciated by the philosopher Giorgio Agamben: that a Contemporary (artist) is he who firmly holds his gaze on his own time so as to perceive not its light, but rather its darkness… a role that is being revived from a long slumber.

In a standardised and globalised world, the Contemporary artist brings us that extra soul which we are constantly in need of.«

La vidéo du siège social d’Artprice, parmi les plus vues sur Facebook avec plus de 10 millions de vues sur le Musée d’Art Contemporain l’Organe gérant La Demeure du Chaos.

2018/08/20 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

La vidéo du siège social d’Artprice, parmi les plus vues sur Facebook avec plus de 10 millions de vues sur le Musée d’Art Contemporain l’Organe gérant La Demeure du Chaos.

Au mois d’Avril 2018, Artprice, Leader mondial de l’information sur le Marché de l’Art et son siège social le Musée d’Art Contemporain L’Organe gérant l’ERP La Demeure du Chaos, ont été contactés par Antoine de Caunes, CANAL PLUS, afin de réaliser le tournage d’un sujet pour l’émission « La Gaule d’Antoine », pour une première diffusion début Mai 2018. Le principe de cette émission est de parcourir les 13 régions de France pour en faire connaître leurs lieux incontournables et spécifiques, après une sélection pointue.

Le professionnalisme et l’implication d’Antoine de Caunes ont su synthétiser ce que représente Artprice et le Musée d’Art Contemporain La Demeure du Chaos / Abode of Chaos, dixit The New York Times, son siège social, tant par son commentaire que par ses images, couverts en 20 ans par plus de 2700 médias internationaux de presse écrite et audiovisuelle.

Cette vidéo est devenue en l’espace de quelques semaines une vidéo culte sur Facebook. Elle dépasse aujourd’hui 10 millions de vues. (P.V. d’huissier SCP Estelle PONS – Sarah MERGUI du 20.8.2018).

Le constat d’huissier porte sur 2 URL pointant sur la vidéo Facebook du documentaire Canal + qui appartiennent d’une part, à la page monde Facebook d’Artprice avec 2.7 millions d’abonnés et la page monde du Facebook du Musée d’Art Contemporain L’Organe, gérant l’ERP La Demeure du Chaos/ Abode of Chaos avec ses 2.9 millions d’abonnés.

C’est dire l’incroyable audience rencontrée par la vidéo de l’émission « la Gaule d’Antoine » sur son le Musée d’Art Contemporain L’Organe gérant l’ERP La Demeure du Chaos siège social d’Artprice à travers le Monde.

thierry Ehrmann: « Cette adhésion internationale montre à quel point le Musée d’Art Contemporain l’Organe gérant l’ERP La Demeure du Chaos, porte un message artistique universel. Le fait qu’elle abrite le siège social d’Artprice est le support idéal pour véhiculer l’image d’Artprice en sa qualité de leader mondial, dans le monde de l’Art. »

La page monde Facebook d’Artprice avec 2.7 millions d’abonnés et la page monde du Facebook du Musée d’Art Contemporain L’Organe, gérant l’ERP La Demeure du Chaos/ Abode of Chaos avec ses 2.9 millions d’abonnés reflètent un taux de satisfaction exceptionnel sur un documentaire vidéo vu plus de 10 millions de fois avec un nombre de gens qui n’adhère pas extrêmement faible dans l’univers du marketing B to B et B to C.

En effet, on compte un taux de satisfaction de 99.855% sur la page Facebook Artprice et de 99.724% pour celle de la Demeure du Chaos. (P.V. d’huissier SCP Estelle PONS – Sarah MERGUI du 20.8.2018). On note dans le même P.V. d’huissier en mode administrateur

6,5 millions de portée de publications/semaine.

Il est bon de préciser aussi qu’Artprice et la Demeure du Chaos sont à l’origine du célèbre classement Grand Lyon La Métropole Culture Facebook Google qui a 7 ans et qui en est au 59 ème classement.

En effet le Musée d’Art Contemporain L’Organe, gérant l’ERP La Demeure du Chaos/ Abode of Chaos a souhaité depuis 7 ans mesurer son empreinte sur Facebook face à 25 acteurs culturels du Grand Lyon qui sont de véritables marqueurs culturels: La Fête des Lumières, Musée d’Art Contemporain Lyon, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, La Biennale d’Art contemporain, Festival Lumière, Institut d’Art Contemporain, Institut Lumière, La Biennale de la Danse de Lyon, Le Transbordeur, Les Nuits de Fourvière, Les Nuits Sonores, Maison de la Danse, Musée des Confluences, Opéra de Lyon, Orchestre National de Lyon, Quai du Polar, Théâtre de la Croix-Rousse, Théâtre des Célestins, TNP Villeurbanne, Le Sucre, Reperkusound, Invites de Villeurbanne, Ninkasi, Les Subsistances.

Groupe Serveur et Artprice ont choisi ces acteurs culturels parmi les beaux-arts, l’art contemporain, le théâtre, la danse, la musique, le cinéma et la littérature. Le département économétrie de Groupe Serveur et d’Artprice possède un algorithme original propriété au titre de la propriété intellectuelle qui calcule « l’engagement logarithmique ». Cette formule mathématique est accessible en ligne à l’adresse suivante :

Le résultat est sans appel le Musée d’Art Contemporain L’Organe, gérant l’ERP La Demeure du Chaos/ Abode of Chaos est d’une part le 1er Musée d’Art Contemporain Rhône Alpes avec 180 000 visiteurs par an et d’autre part 1er en terme d’abonnés, avec 2 963 000 et un engagement logarithmique exceptionnel de 75.

De même en notation Google des visiteurs dans les musées d’Art, le Musée d’Art Contemporain L’Organe, gérant l’ERP La Demeure du Chaos/ Abode of Chaos arrive n°1 devant 3 institutions avec 4.6, en n°2 le Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon avec 4.4, en n°3 le Musée d’Art Contemporain de Lyon avec 4.1 et en n°4 l’Institut d’Art Contemporain avec 4.0.

Dans le monde de l’économie les grandes marques mondiales, dont la plupart sont attachées à la récente Coupe du Monde de Football 2018 et la victoire de la France, ont connu des scores bien inférieurs la performance de notre vidéo, voir les scores des vidéos de CIC, Easy Voyage, LG France, Carrefour, SFR, Orange France, McDonalds France, Groupe APRR sur : http://www.e-marketing.fr/Thematique/veille-1097/Breves/Les-meilleures-videos-marques-diffusees-Facebook-333124.htm

Remerciements rédaction e-marketing.fr en collaboration avec NukeSuite

A titre de comparaison, au-delà des marques, en secteur show business, la vidéo de Madonna pour son 60ème anniversaire totalise ce jour 216k vues sur sa page Facebook officielle. Sur celle de la NASA, organisme mondial, qui compte pourtant plus de 21 millions d’abonnés, la vidéo la plus vue du mois d’Août affiche 566k vues.

Pour rappel, Artprice avait pris l’engagement, lors de son A.G. le 30 juin 2017, de prendre la 1ère place en matière d’information sur le Marché de l’Art sur les réseaux sociaux où elle comptait 345 K d’abonnés. Pour réaliser cet objectif très ambitieux, Artprice et son entité Artmarket.com devaient conquérir plus d’un million d’abonnés à leurs publications sur la période 2S 2017/1S2018.

Pari réussi, au-delà de l’objectif avec 676% de croissance sur la période juillet 2017 / Juillet 2018 pour la page Artprice, ce qui la place parmi les pages les plus suivies au Monde, avec 2 792 660 millions d’abonnés au 20 Août 2018.

De grands groupes internationaux cotés ont cru s’exonérer de la complexité des réseaux sociaux et subissent le retard fatal générant des préjudices économiques importants qui remettent en question leur position. Même avec un budget financier exceptionnel le retard accumulé ne peut pas être compensé du fait de l’architecture élaborée des réseaux sociaux. Certains groupes du S&P500 en sont des exemples probants.

Désormais l’empreinte sur les réseaux sociaux est l’un des paramètres primordiaux et vitaux pour qui veut préserver le capital entreprise et son avenir, avec bien évidemment, sa notoriété et visibilité à travers le Monde, ce qui est le cas d’Artprice en tant que Leader mondial de l’information sur le Marché de l’Art ainsi que sa Place de Marché Normalisée Artmarket.com .

C’est pour cette raison qu’Artprice a privilégié très tôt cet axe de communication, anticipant depuis longtemps le poids des réseaux sociaux dans son marketing, ses banques de données, ses équipes informatique et ses forces de ventes, forgeant chaque jour un peu plus son expérience dans les multiples réseaux sociaux pour générer des millions de nouveaux membres qualifiés pour les multiples abonnements payants à ses banques de données.

Artprice: H1 2018 Global Art Market Report – all indicators are positive.

2018/08/06 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

First Half 2018: the Art Market posted a general recovery of +18%

1 Global auction turnover on Fine Art* rose 18%, totalling $8.45 billion

2 Transaction numbers remained stable with 262,000 lots sold, up 2.5% vs. H1 2017

3 The USA posted a massive 48% increase, with total turnover of $3.3 billion

4 China*, with $2 billion in turnover, reduced its unsold rate before a decisive H2

5 The UK, with auction turnover up 18% to $1.9 billion, is just behind China

6 The EU is contributing to growth: France +8%, Germany +17%, Italy +22%

7 Modern Art, the mainstay of the market’s high-end, accounted for 46% of total turnover

8 Modigliani and Picasso both scored results above $100 million threshold

9 Zao Wou-Ki was China’s best-performer in H1 2018 with total sales of $155 million

10 Contemporary Art’s global price index rose 27%, a serious competitor of the S&P 500

* Public sales of Fine Art (Painting, Sculpture, Drawing, Photography, Prints, Installations)

**In collaboration with Art Market Monitor of Artron (AMMA)

General conclusion…

Worldwide, the Art Market grew by +18% in H1 2018, pursuing the growth we saw in H1 2017 (+9%) and confirmed in H2 2017 (+32%).
Global figures

At a global level, more than 262,000 Fine Art lots were auctioned in the first six months of 2018, generating a total product of $8.45 billion (including fees). Artprice, the world leader in Art Market information since 1987, has systematically analysed and digested the results of more than 3,532 auction sales around the world. This half-year report covers public sales of Fine Art (painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, prints and installations).

Read Artprice.com’s H1 2018 Global Art Market Report online at: https://www.artprice.com/artprice-reports/global-art-market-in-h1-2018-by-artprice-com

According to thierry Ehrmann, Artprice founder and CEO, “Since the turn of the century, the Art Market has demonstrated an exceptionally high degree of maturity, resisting the NASDAQ crisis, the consequences of nine-eleven, of the second Iraq war and of course the unprecedented financial and economic crises that started in 2007. Since then, it has been operating against a backdrop of negative interest rates that undermine the value of savings and, more recently, in a global context of heightening geopolitical tensions. During these past 18 years, the Art Market has managed to adapt to reality, not only avoiding its own collapse in the face of financial crises, but actually creating a genuine investment safe-haven without forming a speculative bubble.”

The attractive returns on art over the last few years have outperformed many other investments and the Art Market has become an independent, liquid and efficient market on all continents.

Top 10 Countries by Auction Turnover H1 2018

Country – Turnover – (Market Share)

1 United States – $3,341,746,766 – (39.6%)

2 China – $1,997,226,110 – (23.6%)

3 United Kingdom – $1,873,284,804 – (22.2%)

4 France – $372,461,596 – (4.4%)

5 Germany – $122,765,010 – (1.5%)

6 Italy – $118,907,954 – (1.4%)

7 Switzerland – $76,847,823 – (1.3%)

8 Japan – $66,901,157 – (0.9%)

9 Austria – $53,562,620 – (0.8%)

10 India – $38,351,733 – (0.6%)

Other: – $383,793,555 – (5.0%)

The Top 500 artists by sales product indicates China has acquired, over he years, a significant position in the Art Market and now boasts 128 of the world’s 500 most-rated artists, far ahead of the United States (82) and Great Britain (27).

The data pertaining to the Chinese Art market is the fruit of Artprice’s 7-year collaboration with its Chinese institutional partner, Artron Group and AMMA (Art Market Monitor by Artron), directed by Wan Jie.

Despite a relatively unfavourable economic context, the global art market has shown signs of buoyancy, driven by a powerful combination of investment logic, speculative buying, passion collecting and insatiable demand for major signatures from new museums around the world.

These growth drivers rely heavily on easy access to reliable Art Market information such as provided by Artprice (pioneer and global leader in the field) and have been boosted by a whole series of underlying phenomena. These include a rapidly spreading awareness that every aspect of participation in the art market, including online sales, can be conducted via the Internet (98% of participants are connected to Internet); a financialisation of the art market’s high-end fostered by its stability and transparency; a rapid increase in the art-buying population from roughly 500,000 after 1945 to approximately 90 million in 2018; a significant reduction in the average age of market players and a major geographical expansion of the market to nearly all of Asia, the Pacific Rim, India, South Africa, the Middle-East and South America

Another massive Art Market driver is the new-era museum industry (700 new museums per year) that has become a significant economic reality in the 21st century. More museums opened between 2000 and 2014 than in the previous two centuries.

Hungry for museum quality works, this sector is one of the primary drivers of the Art Market’s spectacular growth. The Art Market is now both mature and liquid, offering yields of 10% to 15% per year on works valued over $100,000.

Considering these macro- and micro-economic data, the past 18 years have confirmed the Art Market’s potential as a safe haven against economic and financial turbulence, generating substantial and recurring yields.

With central banks effectively working in a negative interest rate environment, the Art Market looks very healthy by comparison having posted a 2,108% growth in the annual auction turnover of its Contemporary segment over the past 18 years. The global Art Market has also posted linear growth

In the average value of an artwork (Old, Modern and Contemporary) of +25% over the same period. If we look at the Contemporary segment alone, the progression is +88%.

These returns are not just reserved for “star” artists. We find a substantial average annual yield of +9% on works sold above the €20,000 threshold.

The Artprice100® shows a progression of +360% since 2000. About Artprice100® :

Artprice’s Annual Report on the Global Art Market in 2017: a genuine alternative to financial markets, with China in first place

2018/02/28 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Our 20th Global Art Market Annual Report is once again the fruit of an alliance between Artprice, world leader in Art Market information, founded and directed by thierry Ehrmann, and Artron, its powerful Chinese institutional partner, directed by Wan Jie. The result is the only truly global art market report providing reliable insight into both the Western and the Eastern art market. By pooling their resources to analyse the global Art Market in unprecedented detail, our two structures highlight the intense competition driving the market’s global growth as well as its logic and its consequences. No other organisation or team is currently capable of such high quality processing and interpreting of macro- and micro-economic metadata in a Big Data environment.

The Report contains Artprice’s now-famous Top-500 ranking of artists by annual auction turnover, the market’s Top 100 auction results, our brand new Artprice100® index –a must for trading rooms–, a selection of Artprice market indices, and numerous detailed analyses per country, per market-hub, per creative period and per artistic medium. Its 18 chapters provide an uncompromising and unprecedented analysis of today’s global Art Market. The Report can be downloaded in pdf format free of charge at Artprice.com

Posting very strong growth in 2017, the Art Market has entered a new era

*Public sales of Fine Art –painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, prints and installation– from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017

General synopsis

Fine Art auction turnover reached $14.9 billion for the full-year 2017

Global turnover increased +20% versus the previous year

Measured growth in H1 (+9%) became strong growth in H2 (+32%)

Worldwide, 502,900 artworks were sold publicly in 2017 (+3%)

The overall unsold rate was 34% (vs. 36% in 2016)

Artprice’s global art price index ended the year stable versus 2016

The latest spectacular all-time Fine Art auction record at $450 million for Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi represents the beginning of a new era for the Art Market in which the next big milestone will be the $1 billion threshold. In the meantime, we are bound to see results between $179 million and $450 million in 2018.

Soft Power

China remains the world’s top marketplace with $5.1 billion in turnover: 34.2% of global total

The United States ranks second with $4.9 billion

The world’s top 5 marketplaces all posted turnover growth:

China +7%, USA +42%, UK +18%, France +35%, Germany +12%

France (in 4th place) accounted for 5.3% of global turnover with $784 million, ahead of Germany’s $256 million, but still a long way behind the three leading marketplaces. France’s turnover was up +35%, but this growth was essentially generated by the Anglo-Saxon auction firms, Christie’s and Sotheby’s, which posted +58% and +35% growth respectively in Paris.

Christie’s and Sotheby’s domination of Fine Art auctions in France is getting stronger each year: the two houses now account for over half of the country’s Fine Art auction turnover (54% in 2017) compared with 47% in 2016.

Christie’s and Sotheby’s together generate more Fine Art auction turnover in France than the other 214 French auction operators.

Christie’s is the world’s leading auction house with a total of $4.4 billion ahead of Sotheby’s with 3.4 billion

In China, Poly Auction ($1 billion) beat China Guardian ($815 million)

Phillips took 5th place in 2017 with a turnover total of $471 million

In Europe, the two non-Anglo-Saxon leaders are the Austrian firm Dorotheum ($78 million) and the French firm Artcurial ($76 million).

Trends

Artprice’s 2017 global Top 500 index contains 231 European artists, 162 Asians and 82 North Americans

The Top 10 includes 4 Chinese artists, 3 Europeans and 3 Americans

2017 saw new auction records for many high-profile figures in Art History including Leonardo da Vinci, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Qi Baishi, Zao Wou-Ki, Marc Chagall, Fernand Léger and Constantin Brancusi

Financial performances

Repeat sales** generate an average annual return of between 5.5% and + 8.3%

In the longer run, works purchased from $200,000 to $1 million generate the best annual return: 8.3%

** The same work purchased and resold at auction during 2017

The Artprice100® shows a progression of +360% since 2000

+360% since 2000 represents an average annual return of 8.9%

Revised annually, the new index replaced 4 artists in 2017

The new index contained 1 Chinese artist (Zhang Daqian) in 2000, versus 18 in 2017

France

Towards new regulations for France’s auction operators…

Many public documents show that French Art Market players, among others the Syndicat des Maisons de Ventes (SYMEV) have taken a stand: against a backdrop of art market globalisation spearheaded by the widespread adoption of internet auction sales, France’s share of the global Fine Art auction market – a share that was over 60% in the 1970s – fell back to a dangerously low level of less than 4% in 2016! Aware of this worrying reality, the sector’s professionals via the Syndicat des Maisons de Ventes (SYMEV), have been sounding the alarm over the past year… and, it would seem, they have been heard.

This news was clearly expressed at the annual meeting of auctioneers that took place at the end of 2017. The French authorities are working towards a complete overhaul of the much-contested and obsolete regulatory framework that governs public auction sales in France. The Conseil des Ventes Volontaires (CVV) –France’s auction market oversight authority– will apparently become an agency of self-regulation, closer to the realities of the market and more in tune with the digital and global issues that have transformed the sector.

At the end of November, in front of the assembled heads of France’s auction sector, Sylvain Maillard, the elected representative for the Paris constituency that is home to the the famous Hôtel Drouot, and former campaign spokesman for Emmanuel Macron, clearly expressed the government’s willingness to act: “all the points you have raised have been taken very seriously by the public authorities (…) and all the possible solutions to these problems are currently being examined and explored.”

On March 7 next, the French Senate will be chairing a session entitled The attractiveness and legal competitiveness of the French art market, under the twin council of the Senate’s Law Commission and its Culture Commission. There can be no doubt that this initiative is part of a new reform dynamic that will lead to the adoption of a new legal framework as of 2018.

The removal of a major administrative impediment that is unique in Europe would indeed allow the French art market to begin the lengthy process of recovering the position it held for over a century in the global art market. End of quote.

These developments represent a major recognition for Artprice, and should lead to the resolution and satisfaction of all of Artprice’s claims & demands during a long and arduous battle.

The new awareness of the sound logic of investing in art, along with other motives such as speculative buying and collecting art as a passion have coincided with an intense level of demand for big-name masterpieces from the world’s new museums. Despite a generally lacklustre global economy, these market forces have boosted demand for artworks worldwide with the global auction turnover up +20% in 2017, generating a very impressive total of $14.9 billion.

The drivers of this growth are ease of access to Art Market information, electronic sales (98% of the market’s participants are connected to the Internet), the financialization of the market, a growing population of ever-younger art consumers (from 500,000 in the 1950’s to 90 million in 2017) and the extension of the market to the entire Asia/Pacific area plus India, South Africa, the Middle East and South America.

The growth of the museum industry is also playing a crucial role. With more than 700 new museums opening every year, the museum industry has become a global economic reality in the 21st Century. More museums opened between 2000 and 2014 than in the previous two centuries, and demand for museum-quality works is one of the key factors in the spectacular growth of the Art Market. The Art Market is now a mature and liquid market offering returns of 8% per year on works purchased over $200,000.

In 2017, the intense competition between China and the USA generated explosive growth in the West, but confirmed China’s role as the leading global marketplace for art despite US growth of +42% and the historic new absolute record of $450 million hammered for Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi at Christie’s in New York. China’s domination is established with just $0.2 billion over the US. Art clearly represents an essential element in the Soft Power arsenals of the United States and China, and, on a smaller scale, of Qatar and the UAE.

China’s supremacy is also once again visible in our ranking of the world’s top 500 artists by annual auction turnover. Chinese artists represent 32.4% of the total number compared to just 16.4% for American artists. The rest are Europeans (46.2%) and other nationalities (5%) essentially Latin Americans and South-West Asians.

Considering the macro and micro-economic data, the last 18 years have confirmed the Art Market as a refuge against economic and financial turbulence, generating substantial and recurring returns.

In a context where central banks are effectively implementing negative interest rates, the Art Market has enjoyed insolent health with our new Artprice100® index showing a progression of +360% since 2000. This new index covers the Top 100 artists in all three major segments: Old Masters, Modern and Contemporary, from all over the world. However, this level of return is not restricted to works by star artists. Our analyses show that the average annual yield on artworks purchased above the $20,000 line is around 5.5%.

The Internet (Microsoft estimates over 5 billion people connected worldwide) has now become the principal and definitive forum for auction operators worldwide who are using it to consolidate their market shares on all continents. Of the world’s 6,300 auction houses, 98% are today present on the Internet (versus just 3% in 2005).

The Art Market is an efficient, historical and global market whose ability to withstand economic and geopolitical crises is now beyond any doubt. Over the last 18 years it has outperformed most of the world’s principal financial markets by a considerable margin.

Artprice launches its “blue-chip” Art Market index, Artprice100®, designed for financiers and investors

2018/01/31 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Artprice’s Global Index® shows an average value increase for artworks of +30% since the index was started 20 years ago. Although this is an appreciable performance particularly at a time when central banks’ interest rates are close to zero in the United States (FED) and negative in Europe (ECB), if we focus uniquely on the most stable segment of the market, we find a much more impressive value accretion.

Thierry Ehrmann, founder and CEO of Artprice, said “Artprice’s econometrics department has created a new index that ignores the most volatile artists (those most subject to the price impact of fashion and speculation) and focuses exclusively on the art market’s “blue-chip” artists. This new index, Artprice100®, shows that art is an extremely competitive financial investment over the longer term.”

Artprice’s new Artprice100® scientific index is subject to IPR protection and represents a major new weapon in Artprice’s commercial arsenal as World Leader in Art Market Information.

PRINCIPLE

The objective of Artprice’s new Artprice100® index is to monitor and quantify the art market’s value accretion by focusing on its most stable elements. This new scientific index is a new tool in Artprice’s panoply of proprietary decision-support tools. In effect, the Artprice100® index represents an unavoidable new benchmark in a financial world constantly searching for new investment opportunities in efficient markets.

The creation of the Artprice100® index is a response to a recurring demand from Artprice’s financial and banking institution customers, particularly in the Private Banking segment, who need a reliable and durable benchmark that does not require specialist knowledge of the Art Market from its user.

With the Artprice100®, the Art Market – universally considered an alternative to traditional financial investments – now has a benchmark comparable to the world’s major stock indices like the S&P 500, the FTSE 100, the CAC 40, the DAX and the NIKKEI 225. It is composed using the same general principles for the construction of these indices: it focuses on the Art Market’s fundamental artists and takes into account their relative weight and importance.

COMPOSITION

The composition of the Artprice100® is adjusted by a scientific committee every 1st January to reflect the evolution of the Art Market. The index essentially identifies the 100 top-performing artists at auction over the previous five years who satisfy a key liquidity criterion (at least ten works of comparable quality sold each year). The weight of each artist is proportional to his/her annual auction turnover over the relevant period.

Thus, starting from 1 January 2000 – the Artprice100®’s reference year – an investment is made on the 100 artists whose auction results are the most regular (constant) and the highest (in turnover terms) during the previous five years (i.e. 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999). The relative weight of each of the 100 artists is detailed in Appendix 1.

The composition of the index does not change during the year. Therefore, the overall value of the Artprice100® evolves according to the individual average performances of each artist in the portfolio, adjusted according to his or her weight within the portfolio.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCES

In 2000, the value of the Artprice100® increased by 10.9%. Thus, for an initial investment of $100, the value of this portfolio already reached $110.9 by the end of 2000.

The contribution of each artist to this result provides additional information. For example, in 2000, the artist Pablo Picasso had a 16% weighting in the portfolio. During that year, his auction performance contracted by 9%. Therefore, the initial $16 invested in Pablo Picasso (16% of $100) was valued, at 31 December 2000, at $14.6.

Fortunately, the portfolio’s diversification helped offset Pablo Picasso’s negative performance in 2000. So, for example, that year saw strong positive performances for Robert Rauschenberg (+59%), Antoni Tapies (+48%), René Magritte (+18%), allowing the Artprice100® index to post a quite remarkable performance for the portfolio as a whole.

Over the long term, the performance of the Artprice100® largely exceeds that of Artprice’s Global Index and of the US stock market, as represented by the S&P 500.

INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES

The Artprice100® index provides essential information since its very composition reflects the progressive evolution of the Art market. The artists included each year in the Top 100 are the market’s most important artists, weighted for their average performances over the previous five years.

This purely objective criterion allows identification of the most stable segment of the Art Market with a built-in evolution mechanism (annual adjustment). In fact, the new index relies on a huge mass of market information (Artprice’s Big Data) and eliminates possible blind spots that might escape the Index’s Scientific Council by analysing repeat sales and auction results from all over the planet. With its intranet connecting it with more than 6,300 Auction Houses, Artprice is the only organisation in the world that can process this data and produce an index based on a highly complex series of calculations.

The composition of the Artprice100® for the years 2000 and 2017 is provided in the Appendices. From 2016 to 2017, four artists joined the index and four left (as with stock indices):

Joiners (incoming): Agnes Martin, Francis Picabia, Barbara Hepworth, Michelangelo Pistoletto
Leavers (outgoing): Giorgio De Chirico, Alexej von Jawlensky, Paul Klee, Cindy Sherman

This gradual transformation of the 100 artists within the Artprice100® is striking over the long term. For example, in 2000, there was only one Chinese artist in this list (Zhang Daqian) compared with 18 in 2017.

CONCLUSION

Over 18 years, the Artprice100® grew by 360%, generating an average annual return of 8.9%. This revolutionary approach to investment in the Art Market allows the financial and investment community to apprehend the Art Market via the art of “index management”, a possibility that was hitherto non-existent. This average annual return of 8.9% represents the profitability of the art market’s most stable segment.

It proves once again that a relatively well-diversified art portfolio, constructed on the basis of a simple and non-aggressive acquisition strategy, has a genuine economic raison d’être, quite apart from the non-pecuniary benefits of collecting art.

Over the last 20 years, the art market has massively increased in liquidity and has grown to now be widely appreciated as a genuinely efficient market to which Artprice – as world leader – has substantially contributed.

Via its contacts in the financial sphere, Artprice aims to get its Artprice100® index and derivative products rapidly included in the standard financial newsflow packages used in trading rooms around the world.

thierry Ehrmann: « The FCC’s decision last night represents the most positive and significant event over the last 20 years of Artprice’s history »

2017/12/18 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Thierry Ehrmann, founder and CEO of Artprice:

“The FCC’s decision last night represents the most positive and significant event over the last 20 years of Artprice’s history and it confirms beyond any doubt Artprice’s revenue forecasts for the Internet kiosk payment system, which Artprice has always defended, rejecting all forms of online advertising and considering the purchase of Artprice content by credit card as an outright commercial heresy.”

Artprice reacts to the decision on 14 December 2017 by the powerful American Federal Commission of Communications (FCC) that repealed the principle of Internet neutrality.

Contrary to the speculative and truncated analyses that have been circulating, this decision is in the best interests and provides better legal protection *footnote for Internet users, Telecom operators and high-quality content publishers like Artprice.

Remember that Artprice’s IPO prospectus and all its reference documents subsequently filed with the AMF indicate that Artprice had always unambiguously preferred the Internet kiosk payment system – billed from $1 to $5 per minute, with 80% credited to the content provider by the Telecom operator, which charges the subscriber directly via his telephone/Internet bill.

Indeed, Artprice has always categorically rejected online advertising, considering it negative for Internet users, because, unlike the television where viewers are passive, Internet users are by nature active and see online advertising as an annoying obstacle to their search for information.

Similarly the purchase of content with a credit card takes an unimaginably long time and is a very tedious process that is getting more and more complicated as the years go by.

Proof of this is provided by French provider Orange® in a Wanadoo® document that stipulates that 70% of its clients drop out of content purchases when confronted with the current bankcard payment system – excluding purchases of physical goods… which Artprice doesn’t sell.

As of 1985, Server Group, Artprice’s parent company, built its position as French leader of the Teletel (Minitel) with access to its legal, judicial and economic databanks, charged between 5.57 francs/minute and 9.21 francs/minute.

In 20 years of mergers and acquisitions, Server Group helped numerous content publishers switch from subscription fee mode 3614 dial-up short code to kiosk payment mode 3617 ($1/minute) or 3629 ($2/minute) dial-up short codes. Each time, the turnover of the publisher was multiplied by a minimum of 5 times within 2 months (it took the DGAT – French General Directorate Telematics Affairs – 45 days to implement the switch).

In the area of accounting, Artprice itself has irrefutable proof that the kiosk system boosts revenue very significantly.

After its acquisition of Artprice Annual (among its many other acquisitions), Artprice discovered that a Minitel company holding the 3617 Artcote franchise since 1991 generated an excellent turnover very close to its net income, with just 4 updates per year and no provision of indices, images (reproductions of artworks), information concerning future sales, artists’ biographies and no search, selection, or decision support tools… and no alerts. In short, despite these major handicaps, the company generated a better revenue, on a like-for-like basis, than Artprice, until 2000.

Moreover, concerning France, Artprice has undeniable scientific and economic evidence that during the Minitel era, the French Ministry of Telecommunications (via its State subsidiary Transpac) experienced substantial Teletel data flow problems. In 1985 the Telecom Ministry invested heavily via Transpac to ensure the smooth flow of content from the server centres to the 14 million Minitel users.

That same year, dial-up short code 3614, with its paid subscription by check or credit card, was shelved and replaced more than 95% by the kiosk payment system.

What happened on 14 December 2017 with the FCC vote is a similar response.

*footnote:

In simple terms, the FCC ruling now allows Internet operators in the world, including the 13 root servers in the US (because the Internet is indeed under American tutelage) to guarantee the reliability of contents from A (content servers in the world) to Z (end customers) with a perfectly controlled flow, which was not the case until the vote to repeal Internet neutrality.

This historic vote will set the foundations for a properly dynamic and ‘virtuous’ economy and protect consumers who will benefit from a proper legal protection on purchased data. The introduction of contract law into the provision of contents will prevent the dissemination of “fake news” as well as of countless other forms of Internet misuse and abuse.

Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi to be exhibited at the Louvre Museum alongside the Mona Lisa is evidence the Museum Industry(R) economy conceptualized by Artprice is a reality

2017/11/30 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Artprice had given the price for Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi 3 months in advance (AOF press agency) and has explained it in its different releases including the following:

Leonardo da Vinci, Salvator Mundi

Artprice also explained in a interview with French newspaper JDD that the Museum Industry® economy (conceptualized by Artprice since 2005) is the foundation of the construction of this record price, which could only be understood through the Art Market’s paradigm shift of which she has become the main driving force.

thierry Ehrmann: « The absolute proof has been given this morning when Jean-Luc Martinez, President-Director of the Louvre museum, in an interview with RTL radio, stated that exhibiting the Salvator Mundi alongside the Mona Lisa in the context of a Leonardo da Vinci exhibition for the celebration of the Grand Louvre’s 30th Anniversary was under negotiation. The AFP dispatch, released a few minutes ago, also reported the capital information through its international news feed.

That is the heart of the Museum Industry®’s business model, that sees such an exhibition have an exponential impact on the growth of the Louvre’s ticket sales.

Also, no one will dare doubt the statement of a senior official at the French Ministry of Culture.

The new economic science – taught by Artprice – is relentlessly pushing prices up. Our conviction about the evolution of the art market started with a simple observation: the exponential nature of art museum openings around the world. In 2014 an Artprice meta-study revealed that more art museums opened between January 2000 and December 2014 than during the entire 19th and 20th centuries.

It also revealed that roughly 700 new art museums are being built every year on 5 continents, each with international vocations and each with at least 4,500 artworks.

This massive expansion of the global museum industry® goes hand-in-hand with a major soft-power competition between the world’s nations, particularly its major powers (China / US) and the Gulf States. Indeed, soft-power rivalry is leading the art market inexorably towards spectacular new auction results. In our well-documented view, we are likely to see results around the billion dollar threshold by 2020.”

Indeed, thanks to its direct Intranet link to major Auction Houses, Artprice is aware of plans for prestige sales in the near future. According to our econometrics department and our Big Data algorithms, we can already predict that several sales will generate results in excess of one billion dollars, notably Christie’s sale of the David and Peggy Rockefeller collection next May in New York.

The Art Market, as reported by Artprice in its reports and the present release, is recording one record after the other for all periods – Old Master, Modern Art & Contemporary Art. To name a few: Kerry James Marshall – Still Life with Wedding Portrait – Christie’s NY 15 Nov. 2017; Carmen HERRERA – Untitled (Orange and Black) (1956) – Phillips NY 16 Nov. 2017; this week, the record for Camille Claudel was shattered at Artcurial, with the preemption of many museums, precisely.

Also, The New York Times agreed with Artprice’s analysis on the Museum Industry®.

The New York Times agrees with Artprice’s anticipation of the complete redefinition of the art market’s price scale after Leonardo Da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi record

2017/11/27 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Artprice’s dedicated global publications monitoring team – part of its Artmarket Insight news agency – cannot but react warmly to the article published on 24 November 2017 in the New York Times. Penned by Scott Reyburn, one of the world’s most famous art journalists, its title perfectly concords with Artprice’s analysis. Entitled How This Leonardo’s Mind-Blowing Price Will Change the Art Market, the article is available online at:

thierry Ehrmann: “Artprice notes the perfect concordance of this article with our press release on 19 November 2017, available online at:

for the English version:

https://www.actusnews.com/fr/ARTPRICE/cp/2017/11/19/artprice-the-auction-record-for-salvator-mundi-by-leonardo-da-vinci-proves-that-the-museum-industry-reg-is-completely

It is now clear that the new auction record of $450.3 million for Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi has led to an almost identical appreciation of where the art market is going on both sides of the Atlantic… except that our analysis was publicised well before the result.

Leonardo da Vinci, Salvator Mundi

Indeed, the new record has immediately ratcheted high-end art prices with a number of works fetching significantly higher than their estimates. Artprice has long predicted the formation of a new economic model within the art market, a model that is now clearly emerging because the art market has become efficient, mature and liquid and is now an appropriate subject for sophisticated econometric and technical analysis.

However, the art market’s revolution is not just limited to its price scale and structure: by including Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi in a sale of Contemporary Art Christie’s has completely overturned a long-standing convention. This remarkable break with tradition by a secular institution represents a major milestone for the future of the art market as it mutates into a proper market economy with the Internet serving as its primary market forum (auction sales are becoming increasingly dematerialized).

Thierry Ehrmann: “The Museum Industry®, a business model that Artprice conceptualised and IP copyrighted as of 2005, is driving this paradigm shift.

It also revealed that roughly 700 new art museums are being built every year on 5 continents, each with international vocations and each with at least 4,500 artworks.

Artprice also notes that Sotheby’s is preparing a particularly flamboyant 2018 with a series of spectacular sales that should allow the firm to close the gap that has recently emerged with its primary rival.

We are also receiving similar signals from Asia, particularly from China.

Less than an hour before this communiqué was released, France Television published an article based 100% on Artprice’s copyrighted (2005) analysis of the Museum Industry® as a way of understanding the price of artworks.

https://www.francetvinfo.fr/economie/emploi/metiers/art-culture-edition/video-deux-dix-ou-cinquante-milliards-d-euros-ca-vaut-combien-la-joconde_2481337.html

“The Mona Lisa is arguably the most famous painting in the world. Tourists flock to admire the painting in the Louvre. It is also one of the few paintings entirely created produced by one of the greatest artists in history. Rarity, celebrity, technical perfection, a cocktail that makes its value difficult to estimate. An expert and two auctioneers interviewed by FranceInfo made a rational calculation based on quantifiable variables.

For Elsa Gody, you can apply a simple formula: take the price of a ticket to the Louvre Museum, multiply it by the number of visitors over a given period… According to the Catawiki auctioneer “that comes to about two billion euros”. His colleague Pierre Blanchet is less ‘rational’ arguing that the ‘passion’ for the painting makes its value impossible to estimate, especially during an auction where prices can quickly soar. … / … « Why not 10 billion? » he finally says.”

Artprice hereby predicts that the Art Market will definitively change price scale in 2018.

In view of the above, Artprice confirms that in 2018 the Art Market will definitely change its price scale, both in the terms of total turnover and in terms of spectacular new records for Old Master, Modern and Contemporary artworks sold in prestige catalogued sales that will fetch around one billion dollars.

According to our econometrics department over 180 artists should substantially renew their their auction records in 2018. The face of the Art Market, which Artprice has become an integral part of as the World Leader in Art Market Information for 20 years, has now definitively changed.

Le tableau de Léonard de Vinci « Salvator Mundi » a été adjugé mercredi 450,3 millions de dollars conformément aux prévisions d’Artprice (450/500 M$).

Le dernier Da Vinci « Salvator Mundi » (sauveur du monde)

New York #Artprice #DaVinci – Un tableau du peintre italien Léonard de Vinci a été adjugé mercredi 450,3 millions de dollars lors d’enchères chez Christie’s à New York, pulvérisant le record de la toile la plus chère du monde.

Au terme d’une séquence de 19 minutes, « Salvator Mundi » (sauveur du monde), dernier tableau du maître encore en possession d’un collectionneur privé, a laissé loin derrière « Les Femmes d’Alger (version 0) », de Pablo Picasso, vendu 179,4 millions de dollars en 2015.

La dernière œuvre connue de LEONARDO DA VINCI encore en mains privées vient de passer sous le feu des enchères chez Christie’s… Le Sauveur du Monde (Salvatore Mundi), pendant masculin de la Joconde est, pour reprendre les mots du spécialiste de l’art ancien chez Christie’s Alan Wintermute, le »Saint Graal de l’art ancien ». Pourtant, ce chef-d’oeuvre absolu n’apparait pas au catalogue de la prochaine session Old Masters de Christie’s (le 31 octobre).

Contre toute attente, le précieux tableau, réalisé il y a cinq siècles, est inclus à la vente d’Art Contemporain et d’Après-Guerre qui se tiendra le 15 novembre 2017 à New York. »Le dernier Da Vinci’, authentifié avec certitude en 2011 et estimé autour de 100 millions de dollars se retrouve ainsi dans le même catalogue que la dernière peinture de Warhol, Sixty Last Supper (1986), une œuvre gigantesque de trois mètres sur 10, comportant 60 variations de la célèbre Cène du même Léonard De Vinci.

Christie’s espère-t-elle faire »coup double » en signant le même soir deux nouveaux records absolus à plus de 100 millions ? Cette pensée est permise sachant que Warhol a déjà passé ce seuil de prix en 2013 avec Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster), vendu 105,445 m$ chez Sotheby’s à New York.

En opérant de la sorte, Christie’s casse les codes habituels en mixant les époques et insiste par ailleurs sur le caractère éminemment spectaculaire des ventes d’Art Contemporain et d’après-guerre. C’est là que se jouent les plus grands enjeux.

Face au programme du 15 novembre, la session Old Masters du 31 octobre peut paraître un peu terne, même si un autoportrait d’Elisabeth VIGÉE-LEBRUN (600 000$ – 800 000$) et un paysage de John CONSTABLE (400 000$ – 600 000$) devraient conduire les enchères…

Artprice: analyse de la 44ème édition de la FIAC face à la concurrence de la Frieze et des ventes publiques

2017/10/14 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

thierry Ehrmann : « Le mois d’octobre accueille deux des plus grandes foires au monde : la Frieze à Londres et la FIAC à Paris. Non seulement ces deux événements prennent place à deux semaines d’intervalle d’un côté et de l’autre de la Manche (reliés en 2h par l’Eurostar), mais chacune de ces foires doit à présent composer avec les sessions de ventes de prestige, organisées en même temps et qui menacent de leur voler la vedette ».

Artprice analyse les nouveaux défis auxquels la FIAC et la Frieze doivent aujourd’hui faire face.

La stratégie des galeries

Pas d’oeuvres normalement de Njideka A. Crosby au Grand Palais pour les visiteurs de la FIAC 2017. La jeune peintre nigérienne est la grande révélation 2017 en salles de ventes, comme le souligne le dernier Rapport Artprice sur le Marché de l’Art Contemporain. Malgré son récent succès, Victoria Miro – sa principale galeriste – a choisi de présenter Conrad Shawcross, Secundino Hernández et Doug Aitken.

De même, les éminentes galeries qui représentent Adrian Ghenie (Pace, Thaddaeus Ropac, Plan B) n’ont pas prévu d’exposer la jeune superstar roumaine au Grand Palais cette année. Plus étonnant encore, il ne devrait pas y avoir à la FIAC cette année de toiles de Jean-Michel Basquiat. Faut-il voir dans ces choix la volonté des galeries de présenter d' »autres artistes » ? Y a-t-il un désir de leur part de se démarquer des enchères ? De se positionner « en marge » ou de donner l’impression d’être « en avance » par rapport aux œuvres qui circulent dans les salles de ventes ?

Cet hermétisme n’est évidemment pas absolu. David Zwirner a dévoilé son intention de présenter à la FIAC des œuvres de Sigmar Polke et Wolfgang Tillmans, deux signatures parmi les plus en vogue en salles de ventes. Le premier a enflammé la session d’Art Contemporain de Phillips ce 6 octobre 2017 à Londres avec Tänzerin (1994) #l-14193057, cédé pour 4,4 m$. Une autre toile importante, Was machen die Russen in Mexiko (1982) #l-14207217 de Sigmar Polke, sera mise en vente à Paris pendant la FIAC chez Christie’s. Cette œuvre, déjà passée deux fois aux enchères, avait atteint 170 500 $ #l-11477625 chez Sotheby’s à New York en 1988, puis 178 500 $ #l-803003 chez Christie’s en 1997. Elle est aujourd’hui estimée entre 3,5 m$ et 4,7 m$ et fera partie de la vente de la collection de Jean-François & Marie-Aline Prat ce 20 octobre à Paris.

Ce n’est pas un hasard si Christie’s a choisi d’organiser cette session de vente ultraprestigieuse durant la FIAC. La maison britannique montre en effet de plus en plus clairement sa volonté de profiter de l’agenda des grandes foires. Ainsi avait-elle décidé en juin de déplacer sa vente d’Art Contemporain et d’Après-guerre de Londres en octobre, afin de la faire coïncider avec la Frieze. Un pari à moitié remporté puisque la maison n’a pas réussi à vendre le lot phare de cette session : Study of Red Pope 1962. 2nd version 1971 #l-14155965 de Francis Bacon. Estimée entre 78 m$ et 104 m$, cette œuvre aurait dû établir un important record en Europe pour les ventes aux enchères.

Face à cet échec, les très bons résultats enregistrés à Londres pour Basquiat, Doig ou encore Gormley soulignent une évolution décisive : l’Art Contemporain est aujourd’hui le segment le plus explosif, et le premier moteur du Marché de l’Art. Un rôle qu’il a définitivement pris à l’Art d’Après-guerre.

Mélange d’enseignes internationales et de galeries locales

La FIAC reste d’abord le rendez-vous des grandes galeries parisiennes, notamment Chantal Crousel qui accueille les visiteurs dès l’entrée. Dans les allées principales, les visiteurs retrouvent Perrotin, Lelong, Mennour, Obadia, Almine Rech, Daniel Templon, Karsten Greve, Thaddaeus Ropac, etc.

Mais la FIAC est également le rassemblement à Paris des plus prestigieuses enseignes anglo-saxonnes : Gagosian, Zwirner, Lisson, Sadie Coles, Marian Goodman, Victoria Miro, Paula Cooper, Simon Lee, White Cube, Skarstedt, etc. C’est aussi l’excellence des marchands d’art européens, avec les Allemands calier | gebauer, Konrad Fisher et Sprüth Magers, les Italiens Massimo de Carlo et Continua, et les Belges Xavier Hufkens, Zeno X et Jan Mot.

Pour la deuxième année consécutive, Hauser & Wirth fait partie avec Lévy Gorvy des rares galeries prééminentes qui préfèrent la Frieze et dédaignent la FIAC. La proximité de deux grandes foires européennes rend ce double déplacement périlleux. A propos de l’édition 2016, la directrice parisienne de la galerie Gagosian déclarait pourtant : « Nous pensions que cette année serait un pari à relever à cause de l’écart de temps entre la FIAC et Frieze. Nous sommes très heureux des ventes réalisées et des rencontres que nous avons faites. Il y a eu une forte audience internationale et nous avons réalisé des ventes auprès de nouveaux clients. Paris devient la capitale de l’art. La qualité des présentations est remarquable« .

En 2016, la FIAC avait accueilli 72 080 visiteurs en 5 jours, soit +0,5 % de plus que l’année précédente. Pour comparaison, la Frieze London et la Frieze Masters ont accueilli conjointement un peu plus de 60 000 visiteurs lors de cette 15ème édition (du 5 au 8 octobre 2017).

En élargissant le nombre de galeries – 192 pour cette 44ème édition, contre 186 l’an dernier et 173 en 2015 – la FIAC diversifie les exposants sans faire de concessions sur le prestige. Au fil des ans, l’illustre événement culturel parisien montre son désir de présenter, face aux grandes galeries internationales, une scène artistique parallèle. Un ensemble de galeries « locales » représentent des artistes déjà reconnus dans leur pays et qui cherchent maintenant à profiter de la visibilité internationale de la FIAC. L’occasion pour eux de se faire connaître des grands collectionneurs. Le secteur Lafayette, en particulier, fait la part belle à ces nombreuses révélations, en rassemblant des galeries comme LambdaLambdaLambda (Prishtina, Kosovo), Truth and Consequences (Genève, Suisse) ou Gypsum (Le Caire, Egypte).

Parmi les exposants qui promettent de très belles découvertes, on peut citer la Belge Nadja Vilenne installée à Liège en Belgique, ou la galerie hongroise Kisterem. Enfin, Tomio Koyoma insufflera un peu d’Asie dans le Grand Palais, à l’intérieur duquel les exposants asiatiques, africains et sud-américains restent encore discrets.

Nombre de galeries par continent – FIAC 2017

On site et le Prix Marcel Duchamp

De l’autre côté de l’Avenue Churchill, On Site met la sculpture à l’honneur au Petit Palais. Face au succès que rencontre la Frieze Sculptur e de l’autre côté de la Manche, avec ses dizaines de pièces monumentales éparpillées dans Regent Park, la FIAC souhaite se lancer dans une aventure similaire.

La liste des sculpteurs rassemblés pour ce projet est particulièrement variée et séduisante. Elle comprend aussi bien des noms connus de tous les Français, comme Arman, que des pionniers du minimalisme tels que David Nash et Richard Nonas. On site se veut aussi l’occasion de confronter les travaux de l’Autrichien Erwin Wurm, la Belge Joëlle Tuerlinckx ou encore le Camerounais Barthélémy Toguo, et de redécouvrir le travail en trois dimensions d’Antoni Tàpies.

Mais le véritable atout de la FIAC, celui qui distingue cette foire de toutes les autres, reste sans doute le prestigieux prix Marcel Duchamp, décerné depuis 2000 par l’ADIAF (l’Association pour la Diffusion Internationale de l’Art Français). Ce prix a déjà révélé de nombreux artistes, parmi lesquels Thomas Hirschhorn, Dominique Gonzales-Foerster, Tatiana Trouvé, Latifa Echakhch et le lauréat 2016 Kader Attia. Cette année, les quatres artistes nommés sont Maja Bajevic, Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige, Charlotte Moth et Vittorio Santoro. Leurs travaux sont présentés au 1er niveau du Centre Pompidou, du 27 septembre 2017 au 8 janvier 2018.

A l’instar du Prix Marcel Duchamp, la FIAC se veut un rendez-vous annuel prestigieux, sérieux, dans le calendrier du Marché de l’Art. La foire parisienne, dirigée par Jennifler Flay, se différencie ainsi de la Frieze qui multiplie chaque année les propositions et les événements parallèles. Pour cette 15ème édition, une nouvelle section intitulée « Sex works: Feminist Art & Radical Politics » proposait entre autres une nouvelle façon d’approcher la foire et ses galeries.

Artprice fête ses 20 ans, édito de thierry Ehrmann, Plasticien, Fondateur et PDG d’Artprice.

2017/10/07 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Artprice a 20 ans. Au regard de l’économie numérique et de ses défis, elle est centenaire.

Société mythique, elle a connu l’introduction la plus démente de l’histoire de la bourse de Paris. Elle a dépassé en quelques heures les 400 millions EUR de capitalisation.

Elle a vécu des descentes aux enfers après la crise des valeurs Internet en 2000, les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, la guerre du Golfe, la crise financière de 2007 et la liste est longue. Mais elle a aussi connu, par sa démarche iconoclaste, des procès fleuves intentés par des monstres nourris des siècles de monopole où l’omerta et l’opacité régnaient en maîtres absolus sur le Marché de l’Art.

Elle a supporté, de certaines castes, des haines inimaginables, des fantasmes qui dépassent l’entendement mais elle s’est relevée à chaque fois en devenant de plus en plus forte et aguerrie.

Elle a, par Internet, où sa maison-mère Groupe Serveur règne depuis 1987 comme pionnier, métamorphosé le vieux monde de l’Art.

Son siège social est légendaire, selon Time Magazine, « La Demeure du Chaos », qui est au sein du Musée d’Art Contemporain L’Organe, renommée par le New York Times « The Abode of Chaos », où travaillent ses fidèles collaborateurs, de véritables experts passionnés entre salles blanches informatiques et fonds documentaire de manuscrits et catalogues.

Artprice a bâti la plus grande banque de données au monde sur le Marché de l’Art, avec un fonds d’archivage quasi-étatique, puis en 2005 Artprice a conçu la plus grande MarketPlace Normalisée au monde d’œuvres d’Art.

Elle s’est imposée comme Leader mondial de l’information sur le Marché de l’Art en produisant, entre autres, pour plus de 7 200 médias, les fils d’informations en continu sur le Marché de l’Art, à l’instar des agences de presse financière comme Bloomberg.

Elle a aussi initié 4,5 millions de membres qu’elle remercie de leur fidélité. Il en est de même avec les 6300 Maisons de ventes, fidèles partenaires dans leur contribution avec Artprice.

Le vieil adage boursier « Cours vu, cours revu » s’est vérifié trois fois en 20 ans, faisant d’Artprice peu à peu une valeur mythique qu’on ne peut appréhender qu’avec une vision du XXIème siècle et ses changements de paradigme qui compriment l’espace-temps.

Pas un seul joueur en bourse, – les vrais, les durs, les purs -, ne peut s’empêcher de posséder un ticket Artprice.

Artprice détient un cénacle d’actionnaires qui ferait rêver certaines sociétés du CAC40.

Les fidèles actionnaires d’Artprice sont des gens puissants, redoutables et silencieux, ceux qui entre autres, par leur famille, règnent en maîtres depuis des centaines d’années sur le plus vieux Marché du monde et qui bien avant le public, avaient compris que la mutation par Artprice était irrémédiable.

N’oublions pas que l’homme échangeait des œuvres d’Art bien avant de frapper monnaie.

Ce cénacle d’actionnaires hors norme se retrouve dans ma citation qui rend hystérique certain(e)s « Le Marché de l’Art, c’est les Marchés financiers en 10 fois plus intelligent et cruel. ».

Mais quel est donc ce Graal que des hommes exceptionnels, comme le Docteur Hippolyte Mireur au XIXème siècle, Enrique Mayer au XXème et tant d’autres personnages célèbres, ont cherché en vain avant de rejoindre Artprice avec leurs fonds de commerce éditorial ?

Ce Graal métaphorique que seules l’Alchimie et sa Materia Prima (le Chaos Alchimique) définissent, sont les équations et algorithmes qui permettent d’expliquer le prix de l’Art et sa parfaite construction.

Oser toucher au vieil adage « L’Art n’a pas de prix » constituait, pour l’ancien régime traditionaliste qui se glisse dans le clair-obscur, une offense absolue.

Artprice, en 20 ans de combat historique et légendaire, a su ouvrir les portes du Temple de l’Art au profane.

Il y a une décennie environ, une célèbre historienne et sociologue du Marché de l’Art m’a indiqué qu’Artprice est immortelle, non pas par sa fonction économique mais parce qu’elle a modifié, de manière irrémédiable, l’Histoire de l’Art et son Marché.

Artprice a démontré que l’Art avait un prix structuré et très élaboré dans un marché efficient qui est bien plus réfléchi et mature que d’autres marchés.

Je ne peux m’empêcher de penser, entre autres, aux Marchés financiers où les taux d’intérêts deviennent négatifs et au Quantitative Easing (QE), que nos grands-parents appelaient plus simplement la planche à billets et qui ne rassurent pas vraiment les épargnants.

Alors oui, Artprice a 20 ans ! L’âge où tout est permis pour aller dévorer le nouveau monde qui accouche et aller danser sur les cendres de la vieille économie qui ne sait pas qu’elle est déjà morte.

Attention, Artprice a 20 ans mais 100 ans de combat, d’expérience, de sagesse et de détermination.

Nous savons, comme notre vieux maître Marcel Duchamp nous l’a appris, que nos plus féroces détracteurs sont les plus grands contributeurs de la réussite mondiale d’Artprice.

À nos fidèles actionnaires de l’ombre, un grand merci pour votre confiance indéfectible.

Le mot de la fin est qu’Artprice n’a jamais modifié son capital et m’a toujours désigné comme Fondateur, PDG et principal actionnaire car je suis convaincu de la croissance exponentielle d’Internet et de ce changement de paradigme unique dans l’histoire de la modernité.

Artprice n’en est qu’à ses débuts.

L’aventure continue de plus belle … thierry Ehrmann

Artprice 20th birthday, editorial by thierry Ehrmann, Artist, founder and CEO of Artprice.

2017/10/07 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Artprice is 20 today. That might sound young to some, but in terms of the digital economy, that’s very old indeed.

A legendary organisation in many respects, Artprice experienced the most extraordinary IPO in the history of the Paris stock exchange, reaching a capitalization in excess of EUR 400 million within hours.

It has suffered severe corrections as well, notably after the new-tech stocks crash in 2000, nine-eleven, the 2nd Gulf War, the financial crisis of 2007 and a number of other exogenous events, and its iconoclastic approach has made it the target of lengthy lawsuits brought by monopolistic behemoths riding on centuries of Art Market omerta and opacity.

Artprice has survived a climate of irrational animosity from certain quarters, sometimes involving outlandish fantasies; but each attack has made the company stronger… and wiser.

Using the Internet – a domain in which its parent company Groupe Serveur has been a dominant pioneer since 1987 – Artprice has completely transformed the Art Market.

Its operational headquarters are located at a site Time Magazine described as the “legendary” Demeure du Chaos. The site, referred to as “The Abode of Chaos” by the New York Times, is also the “Organe” Contemporary Art Museum, where its loyal employees – from digital white rooms to documentary collections, mansucripts and catalogs – are enthusiastic experts.

Artprice has built the largest Art Market databank in the world with a almost State-sized archive base. In 2005, Artprice set up the largest Standardized Marketplace for artworks in the world.

It has become global leader in Art Market Information by providing, among other services, real-time streams of Art Market information for more than 7,200 media outlets such as the financial news agency Bloomberg.

It has also given insight to its 4.5 million loyal subscribers, whom it thanks for their loyalty. This also applies to the 6,300 Auction Houses it works with, loyal partners in their contribution with Artprice.

The old stock-market adage « prices peaks usually return » has been confirmed no less than three times in 20 years, making the Artprice share a legendary stock that cannot be understood without a clear grasp of the spatio-temporal paradigm shifts driving the 21st century.

Artprice is a “must-have” stock for all investors ans gamblers… whatever their strategy.

It has a cenacle of shareholders that would make a number of CAC 40 companies green with envy.

Its loyal shareholders are powerful, formidable and discreet people, including, among others, members of families that have held strong positions in the world’s oldest market for hundreds of years (mankind exchanged artworks well before currencies) and who – well before the public – understood that Artprice’s vision of the art market was totally unavoidable.

Artprice’s exceptional family of shareholders is reflected in my somewhat provocative observation that “the Art Market is like financial markets… only ten times smarter and ten times more unforgiving”.

So what exactly is this ‘secret chalice’… this ‘Grail’… that so many people have sought in vain – including exceptional men like Dr. Hippolyte Mireur (19th century) and Enrique Mayer (20th century) whose carefully-compiled registers of art market exchanges are now a part of Artprice?

This metaphorical ‘Grail’, that can only be apprehended by Alchemy and its Prima Materia (Alchemical Chaos), is in fact a set of equations and algorithms that explain art prices and expose how they are formed.

For the art market’s old regime lurking in the twilight, the adage « Art has no price » was the core of a deliberately mystifying ideology.

Over 20 years of historical and legendary combat, Artprice has opened the gates of the Temple of Art to the profane.

Ten or so years ago, a famous Art Market historian and sociologist told me that Artprice was immortal, not for its economic function, but rather for the irrevocable changes it has brought to the Art Market and, therefore, to Art History.

Artprice has demonstrated that art does have structured and highly sophisticated price mechanisms, in an efficient market that is substantially more rational and mature than many other markets.

Financial markets offer a particularly poor comparison at a time when negative interest rates and quantitative easing (QE) (a concept that our grandparents referred to simply as “money printing”) do little to reassure savers.

So yes… Artprice is now 20… an age of freedom and exploration; an age in which the emerging new world can dance on the ashes of the old economy that has not yet understand it is already dead.

Artprice may be 20, but it has already acquired a 100 years of experience, wisdom and combative energy.

We know – as our mentor Marcel Duchamp taught us – that our fiercest critics are the biggest contributors to the global success of Artprice.

To our loyal shareholders, a big thank you for your unfailing confidence.

As a final word: Artprice has never modified its capital structure and has repeatedly designated myself, its Founder, as its CEO and principal shareholder. The exponential growth of the Internet and the current paradigm shift – unique in the history of modernity – continue to fuel my belief that Artprice is still very much in its early stages.

The Artprice adventure continues with supreme confidence and vigour.

Artprice: Contemporary Art Market Annual Report: turnover up 1,400% in 17 years with an average annual return of +7.6%.

2017/09/28 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Contemporary Art leads the Art Market with Frieze Art Fair in London and the FIAC in Paris

On the whole, the Contemporary Art Market is substantially profitable over the medium and long terms. Despite several corrections, our price index shows that the segment has retained its early-2000s vitality. Turnover growth of +1,400% in 17 years (US$103 million in 2000 to US$1.58 billion in 2017) reflects an extremely dynamic market. Artprice’s Contemporary Art Market Annual Report (2016/2017) is available free of charge at the following link:

The chronic financial and economic crisis affecting the world economy since 2007 – clearly illustrated by the widespread recourse to negative interest rates – makes the Art Market look like a desert oasis. According to thierry Ehrmann, Artprice’s founder and CEO, the Art market has experienced a healthy adjustment that was both necessary and predictable, leaving the Contemporary Art segment center stage.

This year, the Contemporary Art Market generated a stunning new record with its first-ever result above $100 million. The segment’s previous record, $58.4 million for a work by Jeff Koons in 2013, was demolished by the $110.5 million paid for a work by Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Global overview

At a global level, the Art Market was in better shape in H1 2017, ending two consecutive years of slowdown.

Global figures

More than 228,700 Fine Art lots sold worldwide during the first six months of 2017, generating a total turnover of $6.9 billion (including fees). These results were recorded at more than 3,054 public sales that are subjected to Artprice’s systematic and detailed analysis. Artprice has been global leader in Art Market information since 1987. This half-year report covers all public sales of Fine Art (painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, printmaking, installations).

According to thierry Ehrmann, founder and CEO of Artprice, Since 2000, the art market has been functioning with outstanding maturity, resisting the NASDAQ crisis, the nine-eleven attacks, the second intervention in Iraq and of course the unprecedented financial and economic crisis that began in 2007. It has also resisted a significant increase in global geopolitical tensions and the emergence of a negative interest rate environment that hurts savings. During the past 17 years, the Art Market has shown its capacity to adjust to conditions, thus avoiding the kind of meltdowns seen in the financial sphere. It has therefore played a vital “shelter asset” role, without inflating into a speculative bubble.

For a number of years now, the financial returns on art have outperformed other investments, and the Art Market has become an independent, liquid and efficient market on all continents.

The data concerning China was compiled by Artprice in close collaboration with its Chinese institutional associate-partner, the Artron Group and AMMA (Art Market Monitor by Artron) directed by Wan Jie.

These growth drivers rely heavily on easy access to reliable Art Market information such as provided by Artprice (pioneer and global leader in the field) and have been accelerated by a whole series of underlying phenomena: a rapidly spreading awareness that every aspect of participation in the art market, including online sales, can be conducted via the Internet (97% of participants are connected to Internet); a financialisation of the art market’s high-end fostered by its stability and transparency; a rapid increase in the art-buying population from roughly 500,000 after 1945 to approximately 70 million in 2016; a significant reduction in the average age of market players and a major geographical expansion of the market to nearly all of Asia, the Pacific Rim, India, South Africa, the Middle-East and South America.

Another massive Art Market driver is the new-era museum industry (700 new museums per year) that has become a significant economic reality in the 21^st century. More museums opened between 2000 and 2014 than in the previous two centuries.

Considering these macro- et micro-economic data, the past 17 years have confirmed the Art Market’s potential as a safe haven against economic and financial turbulence, generating substantial and recurring yields.

In a financial environment based on negative central bank interest rates (in real terms), the Art Market looks very healthy by comparison, especially having posted a 1200% growth in the annual auction turnover of its Contemporary segment over the past 17 years. The global Art Market has also posted linear growth in the average value of an artwork (Old, Modern and Contemporary) of +47.5% over the same period. If we look at the Contemporary segment alone, the progression is +116%.

These returns are not just reserved for “star” artists. We find a substantial average annual yield of +9% on works sold above the €20,000 threshold.

The Art Market is an efficient, historical and global market whose capacity to resist economic and geopolitical crises requires no further proof.

ARTE: An enormous Christmas tree resembling a giant butt plug, a machine that defecates five-star meals, an icon immersed in urine and staged corpses – subversive, trash, provocative or insulting? Thierry Ehrmann, the man behind The Abode of Chaos (dixit The New York Times), artist and founder of Artprice, features in 9 short episodes that decode the most media-hyped scandals in the Contemporary art field… scandals that inevitably guarantee blockbuster exhibitions. http://www.arte.tv/guide/en/weekly-highlight

Artprice : complément d’information sur le Marché de l’OTC suite à l’AG du 30 juin 2017 à 18h.

2017/07/02 Art Press Agency Commentaires fermés

Suite à de nombreuses interrogations très pertinentes d’actionnaires lors de l’A.G. concernant le communiqué du 30 juin 2017:

Artprice tient à préciser à ses actionnaires et au Marché qu’Artprice conserve bien évidemment tout le segment du Marché de l’Art traditionnel et continuera à le développer plus que jamais en activant sa Place de Marché Normalisée à prix fixe et aux enchères, et y ajoutera donc une nouvelle place de Marché de l’Art OTC ® générateur de dizaines de millions de transactions par an, tel que décrit dans le communiqué ci-dessus, dans le but de couvrir tout le spectre du Marché de l’Art.

Artprice launches the world’s most comprehensive collaborative “wiki” on art and artists.

2015/03/19 tehrmann Commentaires fermés

Artprice launches the world’s most comprehensive collaborative “wiki” on art and artists.

Artprice is the world’s primary specialist for art market prices and indices with more than 30 million indices and auction results covering over 586,000 artists. Artprice Images (R) offers unlimited access to the world’s largest art market database, a library of 108 million photos or representations of artworks from the year 1700 to the present day, each accompanied by pertinent commentary by our art historians.

Over recent years, Artprice frequently heard artists, beneficiaries, copyright managers, art market professionals, valuers, museums, art historians, sociologists, collectors and art lovers of all kinds express their wish to share their knowledge and their private documentation.

A hard core of 12 million regular contributors, according to thierry Ehrmann, founder and Ceo of Artprice.com.

In total, this community represents a hard core of some 12 million regular contributors who will have to register with Artprice to monitor the evolution of their pages and check, modify or supplement the available information.

Artprice’s historians and editors will of course have final control over the information and will be the only persons authorized to open the accounts of regular contributors.

In addition, they will be able to perform immediate information quality checks and, by the same token, certify contributor authorizations, thanks primarily to Artprice’s 81 different databases (including biographies, auction results, artists’ values and price indices, signatures and monograms, catalogues raisonnés, auction houses, art galleries and dealers, archives, etc.).

After an exhaustive research into the subject, it became clear that a « wiki » of this magnitude does not exist and would be way beyond the means of any other organization.

Artprice is opening its multilingual “wiki” with more than a million artists including 586,000 artists listed on Artprice.com and linked to tens of millions of artworks. The information will be available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Chinese. You can find this new art market data source on: wiki.artprice.com

Regarding the Artprice wiki for Chinese artists, Artprice will rely primarily on its faithful State-backed partner, the Artron Group, via Art Market Monitor of Artron (AMMA).

This operation, which Artprice has been preparing for almost a year, represents a major contribution to Art Market history, and a contribution that is free of charge.

Moreover, for Artprice it represents an opportunity to significantly expand its subscribed client-base to a pool of 12 million authorized contributors.

Artprice : le Rapport sur le Marché de l’Art Contemporain 2013/2014 est en ligne

Thierry Ehrmann fondateur et président d’Artprice : Artprice.com a le plaisir de vous présenter sa 8ème édition exclusive du Rapport sur le Marché de l’Art Contemporain.

La version PDF du rapport annuel Artprice sur le Marché de l’Art Contemporain est téléchargeable sur Artprice :

Il contient des classements exclusifs tel que le Top 500 des artistes contemporains par chiffre d’affaires.

Artprice enrichit en permanence ses banques de données en provenance de 4 500 Maisons de ventes et publie en continu les tendances du Marché de l’Art pour les principales agences et 6 300 titres de presse dans le monde.

Le marché de l’art contemporain aux enchères a franchi la barre des 2 milliards de dollars de recettes sur la période juillet 2013-juillet 2014, réalisant ainsi la meilleure année de son histoire.

Record pour une œuvre contemporaine vendue aux enchères avec Jeff Koons (38,8 m€), record du nombre d’adjudications millionnaires (179), record d’un marché haut de gamme à huit chiffres (13) et meilleure vente aux enchères de tous les temps grâce à une cession d’art d’après-guerre et contemporain chez Christie’s. Le secteur contemporain n’a jamais été aussi compétitif et spéculatif.

En quatre petites années, le chiffre d’affaires mondial réalisé en salles de ventes – toutes périodes confondues – a presque doublé depuis le ralentissement de 2009-2010, époque où fut enregistrée une baisse des prix de l’ordre de -48 %.

Le retour de l’opulence ne s’est pas fait attendre, porté par une structure de marché profondément modifiée à bien des niveaux, dont la globalisation et la dématérialisation accrue des ventes font partie. La spéculation galopante des années 2004-2007 est à nouveau de mise. Le marché contemporain s’affiche plus opulent que lors de la micro-bulle de 2007-2008, époque d’une véritable flambée et de recettes annuelles en hausse de +50 % pour un nombre stable d’œuvres vendues.

Un nouveau pic est atteint cette année 2013-2014, la meilleure de l’histoire de l’art contemporain aux enchères, à la fois en terme de recettes annuelles, de croissance de prix et de records d’adjudications.

La cote des artistes nés après 1945 suit la tendance et n’a jamais été si haute. Elle dépasse même de 15 % les niveaux atteints au plus fort de l’année 2007. Au final, l’indice global des prix de l’art contemporain progresse de +70 % sur la décennie.

L’art business s’épanouit dans une bulle qui n’éclate pas et dans une croissance qui perdure sur les biens les plus haut de gamme. Le marché haut de gamme récompense cette année 13 œuvres contemporaines au-delà des 10 m€ et désigne l’œuvre la plus chère du monde sous les traits d’un Balloon Dog géant de Jeff Koons, vendu plus de 38,8 m€ au marteau.

Les signatures les plus spéculatives de l’art, considérées par certains comme des valeurs sûres malgré l’affolement des prix et la volatilité du secteur, sont propulsées par de puissants réseaux de galeries prescriptives, d’institutions prestigieuses, de curateurs et de conseillers d’achat, et par divers acteurs forts du marché de l’art dont les sociétés de ventes leaders font partie intégrante.

La prospérité repose à la fois sur des mécanismes bien rodés et sur l’appétit féroce d’investisseurs portant les enchères depuis le monde entier. Le marché de l’art contemporain s’est transformé en ovni économique avec la globalisation de la demande, dont l’arrivée massive d’investisseurs richissimes.

Séduite par la diversification de placement et par des taux de rentabilité exceptionnels, la demande s’est considérablement accrue, tant et si bien qu’il se vend cinq fois plus d’œuvres aujourd’hui qu’il y a 10 ans avec des niveaux de prix incomparables.
