We are pleased to launch our second report titled Then & Now – a series of reports that explores how different artist groups or movements from the past are faring in today’s auction market. In this edition we look at the founders of the Pop Art movement in the US and UK.

The analysis also considers prints and editions sales in London and New York, as well as Modern British art sales in London.
