Looking Ahead: The Future of the Contemporary Art Market

According to a recent survey by Deloitte in 2017, 78% of wealth managers believe that art should be part of a wealth management offering.

The contemporary art market is a rapidly growing industry with immense potential. In recent years, collector behaviour has become increasingly important in this market, as collectors are seen as the primary drivers of value. This trend is only likely to continue in the future, as the contemporary art market becomes more globalized and interconnected. Another reason for continued growth is the increasing number of wealthy individuals who are buying art as an alternative asset. Art is increasingly being seen as an alternative asset, providing investors with an opportunity to diversify their portfolios.

The contemporary art market is ever-evolving, with new artists and styles constantly emerging. This is likely to lead to increased demand for contemporary art, as investors seek to capitalize on the unique benefits that this asset class offers. These collectors are often more interested in the rarity and uniqueness of a work of art than its market value. As a result, they are willing to pay high prices for pieces that they deem to be valuable.

In addition, contemporary art is becoming more popular among a wider range of people. As more people are exposed to contemporary art, they are likely to develop an interest in collecting it. This increased demand will likely continue to drive up prices and support the growth of the contemporary art market.
