Artmarket.com: according to our long-term data, art made in 1964 has generated more auction turnover than art made in any other year of the 20th century

Leave a comment

PARIS, June 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — May’s auction results in New York showed that after all the records set by the Paul G. Allen, Anne H. Bass, and Thomas Ammann collections, 2023 began with relative sobriety. In an interview with journalist Amy Shaw for the Art Newspaper at Art Basel, art dealer Dominique Lévy said he detects the presence of a “clear correction”. Artprice takes this opportunity to review the acceleration of the art market since the beginning of the 21st century, via a quick look at the works that the market values the most.

“The analysis of auctions results is a fascinating way to examine the evolution of Art History”, explains thierry Ehrmann, President of Artmarket.com and Founder of Artprice. “Our databases, have collected objective and comprehensive Fine Art auction data for more than 30 years from all over the world. They therefore provide an extraordinary tool for studying the appetites of collectors and revealing what our contemporaries value the most”.

The triumph of Pop Art

In 1964, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, and Ed Ruscha were at the peak of their careers and these four artists all have auction price records for works created that year, in the midst of the Cold War, just a few months after the assassination of President J.F. Kennedy. These records, to which must be added more than thirteen thousand other auction results for artworks made that year, make 1964 the year-of-creation that generated the greatest volume of auction turnover in the period 2000 to 2023 (twenty-two years), all creative periods combined: $2.48 billion.

Having fetched the second best art auction result of all time at $195 million on 9 May 2022 at Christie’s in New York, Andy Warhol’s Shot sage blue Marilyn (1964) is now a sort of figurehead for that year (1964). Although from a market perspective the previous two years were just as important for Warhol, 1964 is also remembered in the art world for another reason: in 1964 Robert Rauschenberg won the Grand Prize at the Venice Biennale. Indeed, promoted by Leo Castelli (and perhaps even supported by the CIA), in 1964 Pop Art imposed itself in the art world thereby consolidating a significant shift of art (and the art market) to the West… a transfer of power from Paris to New York on the international scene. The way this transfer came about has been the subject of intense discussion.

Abstraction, Pop Art and Expressionism

In the mid-1960s, several major artists of the first half of the 20th century were still creating important works. Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, and René Magritte were still active. In Asia, Li Keran and Fu Baoshi were perpetuating the art of traditional Chinese painting by giving it very personal touches of modernity, while in Europe Zao Wou-Ki and some of his compatriots were exploring Lyrical Abstraction. In England, a new generation was making its mark: David Hockney was 27 in 1964, Frank Auerbach was 33 and Lucien Freud was 42. They were just at the beginning of their careers, but that year Francis Bacon, aged 55, painted some of his best portraits.

In the United States, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Willem De Kooning, and Clyfford Still were still exploring Abstract Expressionism and Jackson Pollock had passed away a few year back, while a new artistic revolution was emerging: Pop Art. It was this movement that truly imposed America on the international art scene and the international art market. The works themselves were often brilliant and eye-catching but they also often contained covert or less-covert criticism of the American dream. In France, Pierre Soulages has already painted his best canvases, but a new Expressionist scene was beginning to emerge in Germany, with Gerhard Richter and Sigmar Polke, Georg Baselitz, and Anselm Kiefer, among others. Their work unfolded over many years and therefore did not produce the same concentration of market value as the American Pop Art movement.

The success of this movement was notably due to a relatively small number of series of works on which collectors focused heavily, and these series were created by the great names of American Pop Art and were generally worked and reworked for a few years… around 1964.

True stories of Overseas Filipinos shine in global spotlight, in time for PH Independence Day

Leave a comment

Filipino caregivers, barista featured in LA, New York, UK, and Dubai

NEW YORK, June 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — True stories of successful Overseas Filipinos are making the rounds globally, in time for Independence Day in the Philippines.


Videos featuring Charmaine “Charm” Espinoza, a Filipina caregiver in the United Kingdom and Dan Johnson “DJ” Noblesa, a Filipino barista in Italy, can be viewed in Times Square in New York, and LA billboards in Inglewood, Los Angeles, California from June 12 to June 13.

The videos are part of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Creative Communications (OPACC)’s new country branding campaign ‘We Give the World Our Best – The Philippines, featuring the true stories of Overseas Filipinos giving their best, wherever they are in the world.

OFWs in the global spotlight

Charm and DJ’s videos had also earlier appeared in New York Times Square and Dubai‘s La Mer City Walk, two of the most prominent and modern cities in the world.

UK nurse May Parsons, meanwhile, was the face of the bus ad shown in London on no less than the day of King Charles III’s coronation. May was the first nurse to have administered the COVID-19 vaccine in the United Kingdom, which was very much recognized by the UK government.

OPACC says the London bus ad had been rolled out during the momentous occasion to draw in the huge crowds, and communicate the inspiring message that Filipinos give their best wherever they are and in whatever they do.

“At its core, the project intends to let the whole world know how good, compassionate, and competent Filipinos are. Filipinos bring their ‘best’ through daily actions that touch lives all over the world,” says OPACC Sec. Paul Soriano.

A Pinoy’s unique values

In their videos, both Charm and May were both lauded by their foreign patients for their untiring and dedicated service, manifesting how they showed true care, or the malasakit, maasikaso and maalaga values that comes naturally from every Filipino.

“Nursing is not the easiest job in the world, in fact, it’s emotionally draining. I truly believe in the things that I do, because of where I come from, our resilience, our dedication… I gave my best, and my heart, I am the Philippines,” May says in the video, on how she performs her daily routine of caring for the sick in the UK.

Charm, on the other hand, is seen in the video patiently attending to an elderly lady, who gradually changed her demeanor because of Charm’s untiring and caring attitude.

In the video, while the song “Lean on Me” was playing, Charm said: “I do what’s right, I give my best, I keep caring.”

In the next clip, Charm is introduced by her elderly patient to the family as “My friend, from the Philippines,” and her son, appreciatively looking at Charm, whispered a warm thank you.

The video ended with Charm proudly saying: “I am Charm, I am the Philippines,”

In the video in Italy, the owner of a coffee shop said that “for coffee-loving people, Italy is where they should go. And in their shop, they honor their barista, not their coffee machines.”

The owner added while showing how their coffee were made and brewed: “Because coffee is like life, it’s all about how you make it; when your barista is the best, you can taste the love in every cup, our barista is the best, bravo Filipino!.”

The video ended with DJ, the Filipino barista saying: “I am DJ, I am the Philippines.”

Proud Pinoys at their best

The new videos demonstrate how OFWs portray that they are not mere peons in the country that host them, but true ambassadors of the country they call home.

Through their selfless attitude of thinking first of the welfare of their patients/clients, they are able to develop personal connections and create a strong bond between cultures and societies. This leads to greater understanding and appreciation of the Philippines and its people.

The videos are now getting positive raves from the netizens.

A nurse from a government hospital in Quezon City who has seen the video of May and Charm said: “The video is impressive, sana marami pang similar video ang maipalabas para maipakita kung paano mag-care ang Pinoy sa ano mang lahi sa mundo.”

A barista of a small coffee shop in Manila who has also seen the 1-minute video of DJ commented: “Iba talaga ang pinoy pagdating sa gawaan ng kape, like what the song of the late Tina Turner said – we are “Simply the Best. I’m proud of DJ and how he is bringing honor to our country.”
