The closure of national and international fairs led to a drop in sales in the art market. Creative digital technologies will become more important in the art trade, and the use of social media and online tools to present and sell art will continue even after the pandemic. The adaptability of players will be critical to the future of the art market, and a recovery in sales and employment is not expected for several years[Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection]
The art market can be segmented by category of work (sculpture, painting, etc.), era (contemporary, modern, etc.), and price range.
Globally, sales of art and antiques could generate 29% revenue growth in 2021 compared to 2020.
