Artprice.com released a report today on European Contemporary artists. The report includes a list of the top 50 European artists by auction turnover. The report curiously omits Gerhard Richter.
(Update: Martin Bremond, Artprice’s Head Economist, informs us that Gerhard Richter is classified as a postwar artist because he was born before 1945. Contemporary artists must be born after 1945 according to Artprice’s construction of the category.)
