KEY FINDINGS

The Covid-19 crisis pushes art market confidence and short-term outlook into freefall.

The overall ArtTactic Confidence Indicator for Post-War & Contemporary art has dropped 85% since the previous reading in September 2019. Economic uncertainty, coupled with the art market’s inability to function as normal, has thrown the art market into the unknown.

This report gives you the latest update on what experts think is in store for the coming 6 to 12 months, and how the current crisis could affect individual artist markets.  The report includes both a short- and long-term confidence rank for a selected number of both established and on-the-rise contemporary artists.

About this report:

The ArtTactic Art Market Confidence Indicator was launched in May 2005 and is now in its 32nd edition. the survey is modelled on a similar methodology to the CEO confidence Survey that was launched in 1976 by the Conference Board in the US. We believe that the opinions of a small group of select ‘art insiders’; collectors, auction houses, advisors and other art professionals provide a valuable insight into the perception about the current and future state of the art market.

Who is it for?

This report is popular among dealers, auction houses, art advisors and collectors, who want to get an in-depth understanding of both established and emerging contemporary artists.
