Asia’s Art Market: For Investment and Connections

Michael Backman

Chapter Chapter 11 in Inside Knowledge, 2005, pp 124-137 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The arguments for the antiques market as a place for sound investment are compelling, particularly at the high end. The market grows ever narrower and the number of museum-quality items fewer relative to demand. And yet never before have there been so many wealthy people in Asia or anywhere else. So, with a fixed supply of antiques by definition, and increasingly rich populations, the sky is the limit as far as price is concerned when it comes to quality works of art.
