Our research spans modern and contemporary art and the culture that surrounds it.
We gather data and market insight that help artists gain recognition, and that inform institutions and the press about the art world as it is.
Modern and contemporary art is our main focus. It is where the connection between art, artists, museums and people is made today, and where most people find their way into art as a whole.
We study shifting cultural landscapes and the societal issues within them, and translate our findings into reports that are clear and presentable.
The position, demand and recognition of artists and their work, followed over time. We look at how careers develop and how value is formed in the contemporary art world.
How movements emerge, develop and travel between regions and audiences. Our researchers follow developments where they happen, in every part of the world.
How art reflects and responds to the societal issues of its time. The cultural landscape of a period mirrors how people live and what concerns them.
New ways of collecting and interpreting evidence on cultural change. We develop our methods alongside the field we study.
Every study is designed around its subject. Depending on the question, our methods include:
Gathering evidence with current methods, from market figures to documented developments.
Studying existing sources, publications and archives to place findings in context.
Reading market movements and the factors behind the recognition of artists.
Insight from researchers and specialists who know a movement from the inside.
