ahead of Frieze London and Art Basel Paris, Artprice by Artmarket releases its 2025 Contemporary Art Market Report. Annual record number of auction transactions, substantial market paradigm shift, AI influences

PARIS, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With Frieze London about to kick off, followed by Art Basel Paris, Artprice News announces the release of its 31st Contemporary Art Market Annual Report, in which Artprice by Artmarket presents and analyses the densest Contemporary and Ultra-Contemporary art market (see our methodology at the end of this press release) the world has ever seen.

Artprice News lifts the veil on the current state of the Contemporary Art Market with analysis by Artprice's econometrics department.  

As galleries, auction houses, and art advisors examine the causes and consequences of the slowdown in the global art market, the 31st Artprice by Artmarket Report provides a detailed analysis of the Contemporary Art auction market.

It exposes both the drivers and the extent of the contraction, but also highlights a number of positive signals: the rise of female artists, the emergence of new scenes, and the emergence of AI, which represents a genuine paradigm shift. More than just an inventory, this report outlines the key trends in tomorrow's market.

Meanwhile, in order to remain focused on market trends on a regular basis, Artprice has just launched a new press agency, Artprice News, with its long-standing partner Cision PR Newswire. With nearly 30 years of experience as a World Leader in Art Market Information, we will now be publishing daily global art market news in 122 countries and 11 languages.

With Artprice News, Artprice is supplementing the weekly publication of its ArtMarket Insight with a daily global news feed that runs 24/7.

This initiative will allow Artprice by Artmarket to suplement its famous annual reports with the analysis of its proprietary AI tool, Intuitive ArtMarket, and its partnership with Perplexity AI, giving users access to an unfathomable volume of data and parameters in its proprietary AI application, Blind Spot.

Artprice – which owns the world's largest collection of manuscripts and auction catalogues dating back to 1700 – is currently absorbing a colossal volume of historical information into its proprietary AI, Intuitive Artmarket. This data will be tokenized for use in the next Global Art Market Annual Report (the 32nd edition) to be published in March 2026. Loyal readers will therefore have access to a whole new world.
