represented by living artists who have contributed to the historical development of art, and
whose work as a commodity is traded in the secondary market.
MAIN PART
This market includes a wide range of artists belonging to various movements and schools
operating since the late 1970s, who have a strong influence on international markets and are now
considered superstars (egMichelangelo Pistoletto, Robert Rauschenberg, Bruce Nauman, John
Baldessari, Gerhard Richter, Gilbert and George ,SigmarPolke). This market has high barriers to
access, is controlled by a dozen large businessmen, and is characterized by a small number of
large and influential galleries, often organized as commercial companies, having strong
connections with other galleries or, at best, with branches in other large cities. (eg Larry
Gagosian in New York, London, Los Angeles, Paris, Athens, Hong Kong and Rome, Marian
Goodman in New York and Paris; Spru¨thMagers in London and Berlin; Hauser and Wirth in
London, New York and Zurich) . These galleries usually operate in both markets, both primary
and secondary, and offer their work to wealthy clients (large collectors, banks, companies) and
institutions (museums and foundations).
Investing in this market is designed for those who are satisfied with income ranging from
100,000 € to 300,000 €, and also prefer a low-risk risk.Vanguard Market. The avant-garde
market is formed by artists with high ratings, internationally managed by the most influential and
first-class galleries, which are represented at the main international contemporary art fairs (Art
Basel, Frieze Art Fair, ARCO, FIAC). These artists are invited to the exhibition in significant
biennials, their works are dated no more than 20 years and they operate in the secondary market
(eg Grayson Perry, Chris Ofili, GhadaAmer, Ellen Gallagher, Tacita Dean, Jim Lambie, Patricia
Piccini, Angus Fairhurst, Assume Vivid Astro Focus, etc.). This market consists of artists who in
recent decades have begun to attract the attention of the specialized press, thanks to their
exhibitions, have won the attention of prestigious curators and have been invited to such
international events as the Venetian Biennale, Manifesto, Documenta in Kassel, or won prizes
like Turner Prize and Hugo Boss prize. This market, although it is considered one of the niches,
has a strong commercial impact and fierce public collecting; it can bring large profits, as well as
losses.
Anyone who wants to invest in this sector should bear in mind a large degree of risk. The
attention of art dealers is focused on the most significant art centers such as New York, London,
Beijing and Hong Kong. This is an oligopolistic market controlled by several participants, able to
identify new trends and keep prices high. You can identify some of the active participants in this
New York market: Pace Gallery, Larry Gagosian, Barbara Gladstone, Marian Goodman, Mary
Boone, SperoneWestwater. In London: Lisson Gallery, White Cube, Gagosian, Victoria Miro
Gallery, Sadie Coles HQ.The alternative market is a national market where traditional and
moderately modernized artists operate, who are represented at major modern art fairs and are
invited to exhibitions by various publics. This market consists on the one hand of artists
recognized as key persons in the prevailing trends (eg artists of the Corrente movement (fashion
movement) such as Renato Guttuso, Ernesto Treccani, Bruno Cassinari, or of the Italian Pop Art
such as Mario Schifano, Franco Angeli, Lucio Del Pezzo); on the other hand, from young talents
who express national cultural identity (e.g. DanyVescovi, Federico Guida, Maurizio Galimberti,
Matteo Basile`, DavideNido, Roberto Coda Zabetta, Jonathan Guaitamacchi, Paola Pezzi, etc.).
This is a market segment that offers good opportunities and supplies innovative collectors with
products that are relatively inexpensive and in good quality. Even here it’s convenient to rely on
