ARTnews also has an interesting article on the art market and the money that splashing about at the moment.. "Last year at least 810 works of art were sold for over $1 million at auction, according to Artprice.com, which added that we should keep in mind that “until the end of the 1990s only 100 to 200 auctions per year broke through the million-dollar threshold.” At least 200 works went for more than $1 million at the recent auctions."

While I'm on the subject of art collecting and investing in art, the LA Times recently spoke about investors entering the art market to profit from the boom. Randall Willette of Fine Art Wealth Management in London said "The idea that you should buy purely because of your passion is becoming less common. More buyers are coming from a financial background, and people want to support their buying decisions with financial information. Increasingly, art is part of the balance sheet of private clients."
