Welcome to The Web Gallery of Impressionists! The Web Gallery is a virtual world of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, offering a wide collection of pictures from different artists and periods in time. It is supposed to be a free on line encyclopedia and we aim to collect all range of materials about this period in one place. The web site is showing diverse styles and relevant information about artists, museums and the pictures themselves. Whether you are a student, an art historian, a teacher or someone who is just interested in art history, particularly this period, we hope to provide a reliable source of knowledge about artists and art movements, master pieces along with news in one place. If you are interested in Impressionism and all what concerns it, this Web Gallery is for you! |

18.05.12 What Chinese collectors are really buying China is the world’s largest art market—even if the figures are disputed (see above). The numbers vary according to whose research you read, but the French site Artprice claims that in 2011, China represented 41.4% of the fine art auction market. The art economist Clare McAndrew, in her latest report (“The International Art Market in 2011”), puts China’s share, taking both auction and dealer sales into account, at 30%, and both sets of figures put China ahead of the US and Europe. |

18.05.12 The dodgy numbers game If you believe the statistics, as many art indexes and investment funds seem to, China is overtaking the US to become the world’s highest spending art and antiques market.

18.05.12 THE SPLIT IN THE MARKET Alone among auction observers, Souren Melikian of the International Herald Tribune is predicting, in the wake of this month's record auction numbers in New York, a coming crash in the fine art auction market similar to the famous, long ago Japanese real estate bubble of 1989. Back then, coincidentally, Cy Twombly doodle pieces were especially desirable, as they were last week. |
