Discoveries happen, but you have to be very careful. I the corner of my eye looking at the auction market of works Jacob Kessy. In 2012 it was the brightest star of the generation under 30 years old. http://artinvestment.ru/invest/ratin...er_thirty.html the Artist interesting, memorable things, support an impressive gallery. But. In 2011, working height 1.2 meters cost about $ 200,000. And in 2014-2015, - about 100 000 @ - $ 130,000. That's fine too - indicates a relatively healthy situation. And yet confirms that "взлет rocket" for investment in young stars is not guaranteed. On the other hand in the relatively recent times of the same Banksy was worth nothing and many aroused more irritation. And now over 250 000 @- 500 000 easily.

Several years ago we took the first Christie's auction in 2008 and figured, what would happen if a hypothetical investor would stupidly bought the entire auction or at least all the top-лоты indiscriminately? http://artinvestment.ru/invest/analy...isk_antik.html I mean, the cost of investment, given the risk that some artists can fall out of art history and the market. That's what happened:

on acquisitions and losses
 

What can you recall of a new (or well forgotten old). Until 2014 for some artists now liquid virtually no auction market, or it was in its infancy. There was no market Sidur, Voroshilov, an old friend, and several others. But collectors liked a @- and the market responded. The sales are on working prices.

But are there examples of extinction. A few years ago rattled the name of Andrey Golikova - installations with oil. In 2007-2008, the prices for his work have shot at the mark of 30 000 @50 000 ndash dollars. Now look @extreme ndash the sale was in 2014 for $ 8,000 About the artist as-то not heard. Maybe a temporary lull, and maybe something else.

It is possible that in the period of uncertainty should not focus on profitability, and liquidity - that is, the ability for things to be quickly resold, even at a substantial discount. Now, many buyers put a liquidity almost on the first place. I'll think about how to rank the most liquid of artists in the database (the share of sold from the number offered for sale). But in principle, the list (not rank) you can try together to make and so, according to-памяти. Try?
