GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global outlook on the Arts and Crafts Stores Industry. China, by spearheading recovery in the global economy, emerged as the world’s largest auction market for fine arts in the year 2010, with Chinese artists making it to the top-10 list of global artists by auction revenue. The region, along with other Asian countries such as Hong Kong is poised to transform into a lucrative destination for renowned auction houses and is expected to emerge as a hub for art fairs and galleries, attracting collectors from various countries across the world.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 11, 2012
An out-of-the-ordinary trend that is being witnessed in recent times is that crafts that were previously the exclusive domain of the middle-aged and the older women group are now extending scope to include the younger population, even the male demography. With these and other consumers exhibiting increasing interest, stores are conducting various art related workshops to provide lessons in such skills. Further, the market is also witnessing a trend of recycling or reconstruction of old and unused items. This trend which was widely prevalent during the time of the great depression is making a comeback in the current cash constrained economic scenario. Consumers, instead of deposing items are recycling them to give them a new look and extend their functionality.
For over half-a-century, the global market for fine arts was dominated by the US and the UK. But in 2010, a marked shift was witnessed in this leadership, as China owing to its economic strength and favorable political climate overpowered the two countries and emerged into the forefront of the global fine arts auction industry. The country became a global hub for fine arts, attracting art collectors from various countries across the world.
