Welcome to the Contemporary Art wiki

Overview

The contemporary art world has grown faster than the overall art market, resulting in strong interest from the global Hub community. Collectors, gallerists, advisors, auctioneers and even artists are watching the market closer than ever for signs of weakness and seismic shifts toward auction houses away from galleries, who typically nuture and develop talent.

Key trend:
Artists going direct to auction houses

Key question:
How long will the good times last?
