The Ion gest bull run in a cen tury of art-market history en ded on a dramatic n ote with a sale of 56 works by Damie n Hirst,
“ Beautiful In side My Head
Forever ”, at Sotheby ' s in London on September 15th 2008 (see picture). All but two pieces sold, fetchi ng more tha n
帝0m, a record for a sale by a sin gle artist.
It was a last hurrah. As the aucti on eer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehma n Brothers, filed for ban kruptcy.
The world art market had already bee n los ing mome ntum for a while after risi ng vertig ino usly since 2003. At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billio n, reck ons Clare McAn drew, foun der of Arts Econo mics, a research firm
the figure five years earlier. Since the n it may have come dow n to $50 billio n. But the market gen erates in terest far bey ond its size because it brings together great wealth, eno rmous egos, greed, passi on and con troversy in a way matched by few other in dustries. MBA

In the weeks and mon ths that followed Mr Hirst ' s sale, spe nding of any
sort became deeply un fashi on able, especially in New York, where the bail-out of the banks coin cided with the loss of thousa nds of jobs and the finan cial demise of many art-bu ying inv estors. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of con temporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector
— for Chin ese con temporary art
—they were dow n by n early 90% in the year to November 2008. Within weeks
the world ' s two biggest auction houses, Sotheby ' s and Christie ' s, had to pay out n early $200m in guara ntees to clie nts who had placed works for sale with them.
The curre nt dow ntur n in the art market is the worst since the Japa nese stopped buying Impressi oni sts at the end of 1989, a move that started the most serious con tract ion in the market since the sec ond world war. This time experts reck on that prices are about 40% dow n on their peak on average, though some have bee n far more volatile. But Edward Dolma n, Christie says:
' s chief executive,
“I' m pretty con fide nt we ' re at the bottom. ”
What makes this slump differe nt from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market, whereas in the early 1990s, whe n in terest rates were high, there was no dema nd eve n though many collectors wan ted to sell. Christie
reve nues in the first half of 2009 were still higher than in the first half of 2006. Almost every one who was in terviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the mome nt is not a lack of dema nd but a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds — death, debt and divorce — still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keep ing away, wait ing for con fide nee to retur n.
