Does the crisis scare you?

Don’t you know if and how much it is still possible to rely on the art market?

Do you think that art is no longer a shelter asset?

Arcadja has drafted a market investigation aimed at answering the most frequent questions of alarmed collectors. This report has been developed to investigate seriously – according to facts – what has actually been happening in the art market in this period of crisis, focusing on the evolution of the last months of 2008 and on the first quarter of 2009.
The analysis is a valid instrument to understand to what extent the recession has affected the art market, which has always been considered a shelter asset, how much this widespread alarmism is well-founded, and finally what we can expect in the next months, on the basis of signals from auction houses in this last period.
