The global art market was valued at $67.4 billion in 2018, the second highest year ever. The United States, United Kingdom and China are the three largest art markets in the world. Their sales combined make up 84% of the global art market. The auction house is one of the biggest drivers of the art market. Sales at public auctions exceeded $29 billion last year. Two auction houses-Christie's and Sotheby's- compete head to head each year capturing more than 40% of global auction sales.

Soon enough, once artists wake up and realize you can just market yourself on social media.. these companies will soon and hopefully crumble. Just imagine those $67.4 billion dollars being distributed among all of the artists around the world.. the poorest artists will still make a living! Not all 7.8 billion of us humans on Earth are artists! But like I said.. artists gotta stop being so romantically tied and wake the fudge up. It's much easier to market yourself as a brand rather than wait and "sell-out." It's hard to even get to the point of selling-out!

Just because I can't afford an original Picasso, doesn't mean I can't support local artists by purchasing or commission a piece directly from them. Personally, I think those top five auction houses serve a different clientele but they've never taken away the ability and privilege to own art. Of course that's not to say that the people who can afford Christie's and Sotheby's won't also purchase art from an up and coming artist (like yourself).

What they didnt tell you in this video is that many of the purchases are done to hide large sums of money. A buyer will get the artwork and stash it in a warehouse somewhere to be sold at a later date. Its great for these big auction houses who make a fortune off iconic artists but bad for the public who loose the chance to experience the work in person.

Art should be treated as a priceless historical artifact, it should be in museums for everyone to see. Like what.. You buy it for investment and probably look at it twice a year? It's waste that everything is just hidden in your basement and everyone can't even see it.

For centuries, art has fascinated people. The sensitivity of the audience resulted from being stimulated by cultural events, social changes, wars, etc. This is how new directions in art emerged. Today's world needs something else, and that's why Compmaturism. The works of the Compmaturists relate to today's human needs; they are emotional, devoid of routine and calculation. They are filled with art juice.

Imagine buying a painting for $5000000 to hang it in your living room instead of rebuilding 10 schools or helping out 100 families financially. I know the money laundering thing, but some people there just do it for fun. They called that fun . Astonishing. Human nature is fascinating.

Do these auction houses only sell items that are by well known artists? I have an EP MGil painting I want to sell, and one I want to sell by an artist I cannot identify but have info on the back saying he was a cousin to a famous theater actress in the 1800. Then I have some pottery, like newcomb ext. but how do they decide what they’re going to sell? Would Sothabees or Christie’s sell my stuff too?

First of all its not money laundering because they have to pay capital gains tax, Second, they dont buy a painting because it's pretty, they buy it because they know if they pay $100 million today, they might get $150 million in 5 years.
