Artmarket.com: must-know results in 2022, according to Artprice

PARIS

“In 2022 the Art Market may have given the impression once again of having broken all records, but the total global volume of transactions and art auction turnover actually stabilized,” says Thierry Ehrmann, CEO of Artmarket.com and Founder of Artprice.

The companies Artprice.com and Artron.net are currently compiling their 2022 Art Market Report, the world’s most comprehensive report on the global art market based on auction results from all over the planet. This report will be published free online in English, French, and Mandarin at the beginning of March 2023 and just before the TEFAF in Maastricht.

Ahead of the report’s publication, Artprice has compiled a list of the 25 most spectacular results of the year 2022:
