AND WHO WASN’T? 34 2020 - THE YEAR IN REVIEW 46 TOP 500 ARTISTS BY FINE ART AUCTION REVENUE IN 2020 Methodology The Art Market analysis presented in this report is based on results of Fine Art auctions that oc- cured between 1st January and 31st December 2020, listed by Artprice and Artron. For the purposes of this report, Fine Art means paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, prints, videos, installa- tions, tapestries, but excludes antiques, anonymous cultural goods and furniture. All the prices in this report indicate auction results – including buyer’s premium. Millions are abbreviated to “m”, and billions to “bn”. The $ sign refers to the US dollar and the ¥ sign refers to the Chinese yuan. The exchange rate used to convert AMMA sales results in China is an average annual rate. Any reference to “Western Art” or “the West” refers to the global art market, minus China. Regarding the Western Art market, the following historical segmentation of “creative period” has been used: • “Old Masters” refers to works by artists born before 1760. • “19th century” refers to works by artists born between 1760 and 1860. • “Modern art” refers to works by artists born between 1860 and 1920. • “Post-war art” refers to works by artists born between 1920 and 1945. • “Contemporary art” refers to works by artists born after 1945.
