A presentation of the report:
Art Media Agency is publishing its new report focused on the contemporary African art market. The document of more than 60 pages, published in English and French, will be available for free download from its website. It reviews market developments recorded over the past twenty years and provides a detailed survey covering more than 800,000 data points. The study, carried out by Art Media Agency’s team of researchers, analysts, and journalists, goes well beyond the figures recorded in public sales. It offers a comprehensive report on the production, media visibility, and presence in galleries and cultural institutions of more than 1,800 artists from the continent and its diasporas.
Two of our MBA in Contemporary Arts: sales, display & collecting students work with AMA and will be the moderators of this conference.
