We have received a lot of feedback on our first Artist Report
featuring Francis Bacon, which has inspired us to explore new
approaches and formats to better serve our audience.
In our review of the 2023 art market, we have scrutinised
leading artists who generated the highest sales revenue at
auction. Analysing their top 10 records, we have identified
prevailing traits that underpin our new Focus Report series.
This series features artists such as Pablo Picasso, Jean-Michel
Basquiat, Gerhard Richter, and Claude Monet.
As 2024 commemorates the 150th anniversary of Impressionism,
we are first focusing on Claude Monet. The renowned French
painter was one of the founding members of this revolutionary
pictorial movement, named after his painting Impression,
Sunrise (1872).
This Focus Report examines the market of one of Monet’s
most celebrated series: the Water Lilies. These paintings are
among the most valuable pieces in the art market, with very
few available for sale each year. We invite you to delve into
our analysis to understand the auction history and the value of
these iconic works of art.
