In times of economic crisis, as the one we are experiencing, we increasingly feel the need to save our resources, by investing them in a safe and possibly profitable way. The best thing to do is to invest in a work of art. Of course, the climate that the art market is facing is not the best. All the great experts are giving their opinion but they are also asking important questions.

In this phase of transformation and consolidation it is hoped that the art market becomes less élitist, and that even the average collectors starts to emerge.
