AMR All Art ‘Top Traded’ Index
AMR All Art ‘Top Traded’ Index
A new index tracking the most frequently traded artists at auction
The All Art is a family of indexes that have been created to track the global auction market for art.
The AMR All Art tracks the evolution of the global Art Market.
The AMR All Art Top Traded (TT) comprises artists whose works have sold at least 30 times in a 24-month period.
- The greatest artists produce the kind of art that has the power to stick and works remain popular long after the initial impact.
- From Picasso to Hockney, Chagall to Fontana, Kusama to Nara, many of these great artists also produced large bodies of work that today form the basis of a robust trade at auction.
- These artists form a group of ‘Core Artists’ included in the All Art TT

How did art market perform in 2021?
Sotheby’s posted record sales of US$7.3 billion in 2021, while Christie’s recorded a five-year high of US$7.1 billion. According to our All Art Index, average sales were up 13% since 2020, with much of the new ground made up by a handful of big-ticket works. Many of the top lots could be found in the US$676 million sale of Harry and Linda Macklowe’s fabulous art collection at Sotheby’s, sparked by the couple’s divorce. Several blue-chip artist records were set, including Jackson Pollock’s Number 17, which achieved US$61.2 million, and Cy Twombly’s Untitled, which went for US$58.9 million.

Why are auction houses interested in NFTs?
The top auction houses were among the first businesses to explore e-commerce. Sotheby’s first tie up with eBay was way back in 2002, while Christie’s launched its own platform, Christie’s LIVE, in 2006. Soon followed by others, the top auction houses have been adapting to new shopping habits for some time. As the global pandemic prevented in-house sales, the battle for the attention of millennial (and younger) collectors quickly shifted online. With the number of artworks and collectibles sold via timed auctions now regularly breaking the million-dollar mark, NFTs are just the latest content to keep their customers hooked.
