Artnet seems to have released a report based upon its price database, though the news story on artnet provides no link to where one might acquire the report, that says sales in 2014 are up 19% over the same period in 2013.

The US, in this period, had the highest portion of the art market’s value (33%) on a smaller portion of sales volume (19%.) The numbers show little increase in sales volume while the value of works shot up a dramatic 27% in the US.

Here are Artnet’s top 10 artists for the first half of 2014:

  1. Picasso ($345.8 million)
  2. Andy Warhol ($299.2 million)
  3. Francis Bacon ($236.5 million)
  4. Monet ($177.6 million)
  5. Qi Baishi ($168.9 million)
  6. Gerhard Richter ($159.2 million)
  7. Mark Rothko ($146.4 million)
  8. Jean-Michel Basquiat ($131.9 million)
  9. Alberto Giacometti ($115.7 million)
  10. Zhang Daqian ($115.5 million).
