Features: The international art market in the 21st century has changed along with the shifts in the global economy, and the pace of globalization has accelerated this change. Art is undoubtedly a top-tier luxury, representing not only honor, success, strength, and status but also serving as a cultural symbol and a marker of taste or quality. Contemporary art, in particular, often aligns more easily with various fashion trends and is even closely related to people's daily lives. In fact, contemporary art has become the largest category of transactions in the international art market. Taking Sotheby's auction house, where I have been working for over 30 years as an example, the (total sales) in the contemporary art and sculpture auctions have increased the fastest, with a trend that has already surpassed the "Impressionist" market. This book provides a detailed discussion on the wealth of art worldwide, serving as a reference for scholars.
