Female artist is still a small minority in the contemporary art market. The top 100 artists by annual auction turnover contains 88 men and just 12 women. Male artists dominate the Contemporary Art market in both number and value.
The Highest Auction turnover (July 2018 – June 2019)
Men $157,184,500
Women $28,809,000
“We are now seeing certain collectors making a conscious decision to buy works by female artists. Department heads at Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Phillips have all noted a real increase in demand for works created specifically by women. The work of reassessment and revalorisation currently in progress may eventually lead to the obsolescence of a gender distinction, and therefore, to a profoundevolution of the Art Market, particularly its Contemporary segment.“
