artnet Analytics: Pablo
Picasso vs. S&P 500
|
|
Pablo Picasso was one of the
top-ranked artists of 2012, with over 2,700 lots
selling in 2012 for nearly
US$335 million. Picasso’s
demand has remained
consistently high in recent
years, with an overall
sell-through rate in 2012
above 75%. Validating the strength of art as an alternative asset, many Modern and Contemporary artists have shown stronger returns than financial markets over the last decade; as demonstrated in the graph above, Picasso has outperformed the S&P 500 since 2005, with a robust rebound after the crash.
With artnet
Analytics, you can
benchmark the performance
of art against the S&P
500, Dow Jones, or other
alternative assets such as
gold. To get your
complimentary artnet
