  • Modeling On-Line Art Auction Dynamics Using Functional Data
    Statistical Science 2006, Vol. 21, No. 2, 179–193 DOI: 10.1214/088342306000000196 c Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2006 Modeling On-Line Art Auction Dynamics Using Functional Data Analysis Srinivas K. Reddy and Mayukh Dass Abstract. In this paper, we examine the price dynamics of on-line art auc- tions of modern Indian art using functional data analysis. The purpose here is not just to understand what determines the final prices of art objects, but also the price movement during the entire auction. We identify several factors, such as artist characteristics (established or emerging artist; prior sales history), art characteristics (size; painting medium—canvas or paper), competition characteristics (current number of bidders; current number of bids) and auction design characteristics (opening bid; position of the lot in the auction), that explain the dynamics of price movement in an on-line art auction. We find that the effects on price vary over the duration of the auc- tion, with some of these effects being stronger at the beginning of the auc- tion (such as the opening bid and historical prices realized). In some cases, the rate of change in prices (velocity) increases at the end of the auction (for canvas paintings and paintings by established artists). Our analysis sug- gests that the opening bid is positively related to on-line auction price levels of art at the beginning of the auction, but its effect declines toward the end of the auction. The order in which the lots appear in an art auction is nega- tively related to the current price level, with this relationship decreasing to- ward the end of the auction.

  • Project Report: Team 4 Predicting the Price of Art at Auction
    Project Report: Team 4 Predicting the Price of Art at Auction Bhavya Agarwal, Farhan Ali, Prema Kolli, and Xiufeng Yang Department of Computer Science, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794-4400 {bhavya.agarwal,farhan.ali}@stonybrook.edu,{pkolli,xiuyang}@cs. stonybrook.edu http://www.cs.stonybrook.edu/~skiena/591/projects 1 Challenge An art auction is the sale of art works in a competition setting. Our primary goal is to predict the price of an art piece/painting in an art auction. We are focusing only on auctions, which occur in auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's. In this project, we try to predict the price of art to be sold at Sotheby's auction in London on 3 December 2014. We are trying to build a generic model, capable of predicting price of any piece of art to be sold based on a variety of features associated with an artist, auction house and the piece of art itself. There is a famous quote in the movie "The Monuments Men" where the actor George Clooney talks about the importance/significance of art. He says that wiping out any generation's art history is equivalent to wiping out the entire generation itself. "You can wipe out the entire generation, you can burn their homes to the ground and somehow they will still find their way back. But you can destroy their history, destroy their achievements and this is it they never existed. That is what we are exactly fighting for." Predicting the price of a painting in an art auction turns out be a challenging task as there are lot of functional dynamics involved in the whole auction process.

  • The Agency of Auctions in Emergent Art Genres in the Global South
    arts Article Materialising Markets: The Agency of Auctions in Emergent Art Genres in the Global South Anita Archer Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC 3010, Australia; [email protected] Received: 1 September 2020; Accepted: 10 October 2020; Published: 18 October 2020 Abstract: For the last two decades, the international auction houses Sotheby’s and Christie’s have been at the forefront of global art market expansion. Their world-wide footprints have enabled auction house specialists to engage with emerging artists and aspiring collectors, most notably in the developing economies of the Global South. By establishing their sales infrastructure in new locales ahead of the traditional mechanisms of primary market commercial galleries, the international auction houses have played a foundational role in the notional construction of new genres of art. However, branding alone is not sufficient to establish these new markets; the auction houses require a network of willing supporters to facilitate and drive marketplace supply and demand, be that trans-locational art market intermediaries, local governments, and/or regional auction businesses. This paper examines emerging art auction markets in three Global South case studies. It elucidates the strategic mechanisms and networks of international and regional art auction houses in the development of specific genres of contemporary art: Hong Kong and ‘Chinese contemporary art’, Singapore and ‘Southeast Asian art’, and Australia and ‘Aboriginal art’. Through examination and comparison of these three markets, this paper draws on research conducted over the past decade to reveal an integral role played by art auctions in the expansion of broader contemporary art world infrastructure in the Global South.

This open-access article is brought to you by the Georgetown Law Library. Posted with permission of the author. Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/facpub Part of the Intellectual Property Law Commons, and the Law and Society Commons CONNECTICUT LAW REVIEW VOLUME 50 AUGUST 2018 NUMBER 3 Article The Public Trust in Public Art: Property Law’s Case against Private Hoarding of “Public” Art HOPE M. BABCOCK Private hoarding of important works of art is a phenomenon that has caused their disappearance from public view. The loss of this art undermines republican values like education, community, and citizenship, and therefore should be resisted. This Article explores various legal tools to prevent this from happening, including doctrines and laws that protect artists’ rights in their work, but which offer the public little relief. Turning to two well-known common-law doctrines—public dedication and public trust—to see whether they might provide a solution, the author favors the latter because it is nimbler and better suited to the public nature of important works of art. But she recognizes that making viable use of the public trust doctrine requires enhancement with incentives, such as those offered by listing the art on a register, the tax code, and external norms of social behavior.
