A report on the Romanian art market in 2013 says there was €15m in sales clustered around works of “national importance.” like Stefan Luchian’s Doua Fete (Two Muses) which sold for €300k. The contemporary market in Romania rose 10% to €1.4m or slightly below 10% of the overall Romanian market:
“However, despite the significant increases in the last three years, the Romanian contemporary art market is still in a process of gradual understanding and appreciation, far from the potential reached by other countries in the region, such as Poland, Russia, Ukraine and Turkey,” reads the report.
