Balance of Power – What are Today’s Art Market Factors?

The art world has changed significantly over the years where we’ve seen an unprecedented number of art fairs, new technologies and record-breaking auction sales.

The art market is constantly evolving, shaped by a variety of forces. In recent years, new art market factors have emerged, such as social media use, the rise of new art markets in Asia and the Middle East, and the globalization of the art market. In addition, art dealers and collectors are now more likely to use online resources when researching and buying art. These factors have had a major impact on artists, who must now contend with increased competition and a more demanding audience.

Many artists are being forced to re-evaluate their approach to art-making. Some are turning to new mediums, such as digital art, while others are experimenting with new techniques or genres. Still others are focusing on creating work that is more socially engaged or politically charged. The art world today is far different from what it was even a decade ago, and artists must continue to evolve in order to stay relevant.
