state of the art market old masters and neo old masters 2327212

Artnet News, in collaboration with Morgan Stanley, analyzed auction data from the Artnet Price Database to assess the state of the European Old Master market since 2018. The investigation explores how efforts to contemporize Old Masters—through juxtapositions at art fairs like TEFAF and Masterpiece London, and gallery shows such as David Zwirner's 'Endless Enigma'—have correlated with market trends for Contemporary and Ultra-Contemporary artists whose work is visibly influenced by classical European art. The report also examines the impact of living artists inspired by Old Masters, suggesting that restricting analysis to historical works alone may underestimate their ongoing influence on the art market.

Tracing Time, a London drawing fair organized by Trois Crayons, returns for its second edition from 26 June to 5 July at No. 9 Cork Street. The selling exhibition features drawings spanning 500 years, with 35 participating galleries—double the number from its debut—including works by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, Gustav Klimt, and Françoise Gilot.
