ArtTactic Podcast
In this episode of the ArtTactic Podcast we're joined by Marek Claassen, Director of Artfacts.net, a website that specializes in tracking and ranking contemporary artists from around the world.
Marek begins by discussing the intricacies behind Artfacts.net's artist ranking system, which judges artists based on their exhibition success rather than auction results.
Then, he shares with us the Top 10 overall artists on the ranking list as well as the Top 10 artists in the rankings who are born after 1950.
Later, Marek addresses significant trends he has detected in his artist rankings since the market downturn, including a drastic contraction in total exhibitions in the art world.
Lastly, Marek talks about the correlation between changes in an artist's annual ranking and an artist's auction turnover, in addition to what possible patterns may exist in the art market in the future, based on current artist rankings.
ArtTactic Podcast Series
ArtTactic launched its new ArtTactic Podcast series in May 2009 to create a platform where key international art market participants are given the opportunity to discuss their projects, their business, and their views on the art market. The podcasts also provide our listeners with a unique insight into a world which is notoriously difficult to penetrate. Since its inception, ArtTactic Podcasts has produced weekly programmes covering topics as wide-ranging as the art fund industry, to the state of the Chinese art market.
The Podcast programmes are divided into a number of different series, such as the Art Investment Series, Art World Series, Emerging Art Market Series, and the US & European Art Market series.
ArtTactic also provides video podcasts from many of its research reports, with unique analysis and commentary provided by Anders Petterson, founder of ArtTactic.
