This project delivers a comprehensive economic analysis of the EU-27 art market, encompassing both primary and secondary sectors. It consolidates data on art fairs, gallery sales, auction volumes, imports/exports, employment, wages, and induced spending. The study includes over 40 data visualisations, such as interactive maps of 7,000+ galleries and the geographical distribution of market actors. It also explores structural asymmetries, digitalisation, fiscal regimes, and market polarisation through case studies and stakeholder interviews. The conceptual framework maps the art market value chain and examines how economic and cultural value are created and legitimised.
