Art Market beats equities for second year

The art market seems to have successfully held its own, defying the economic gloom of 2011 by outpacing stock market returns for a second consecutive year. The Mei Moses has beaten the S&P 500 in six of the last 10 years, with an average annual return of 7.8 per cent compared with 2.7 per cent for the benchmark US index. 2011 saw record auctions for paintings such Roy Lichtenstein’s I Can See the Whole Room . . . and There’s Nobody in It! which sold at Christie’s in November, making gains in excess of $40m for its seller, who bought it for $2m in 1988. Andy Warhol’s Dollar Sign also made big returns when it sold for twice its estimate at $698,500 having been bought for $27,000 23 years earlier. The relative buoyancy of the art market is encouraging for collectors, however it has been warned that signs of slowing global growth were beginning to dent confidence.
