Inside the Numbers: Michael Moses on Art Auctions and Trends

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green
dives into the latest trends shaping the art market with Michael
Moses, co-founder of Art Market Consultancy and a pioneer in
compiling repeat sales auction data. Michael shares key insights
from the first half of 2024, including factors driving the recent
decline in auction prices and the growing supply of art on the
market. We explore how increased online-only sales are changing
auction dynamics, as well as the role of collector motivation
versus auction house capacity in driving supply. Additionally,
Michael offers his perspective on correlations between art and
other asset classes, the impact of signatures and dates on artwork
returns, and what he anticipates for the upcoming major auctions in
New York.
