Warhol market falls back to levels last seen in 2005

Often described as a ‘barometer’ for the overall art market, the Warhol market has dominated world auction sales in the last 16 years. However, only $29.5 million has been sold at auction in the first 5 months of 2016 This is compared to $206.1 million for the same period in 2015, the equivalent of an 86% drop in sales value. These sales levels have not been seen since the first half of 2005, the beginning of the art market boom.
