LiveArt's Hot List for Spring 2022, Part 2

This is LiveArt's Hot List for the second quarter of 2022. Using our comprehensive data, we looked at the sales in April, May and June in London, New York and Hong Kong. We tried to identify the artists with high hammer ratios across multiple sales. Hammer ratio is the hammer price over low estimate. We narrowed that list to a few dozen artists, excluding, for example, the names from the Winter Hot List. Then we boiled it down further to 16 artists whose markets we think are worth paying some attention to right now. We covered 9 artists in the first episode. In this one, George O'Dell discusses the markets for Sam Gilliam, A.R. Penck, with side tangent on Georg Baselitz and other European artists, Yuichi Hirako, Susumu Kamijo, Louis Fratino, Ross Bleckner along with some other re-discovered artists from the 1980s, Danielle Orchard and finally George’s take on the market conditions going into the Fall.a If you want to follow along as we discuss the sales, go to analytics.liveart.io.
