Rankings order artists by the depth of published auction context available to us and by the works Rare Form can currently offer. Availability, placement and asking-price figures are counted directly from the Rare Form catalogue. Auction figures are historical, sourced and dated. Rare Form does not publish artist market capitalisation, projected returns or price targets.

Historical market information is provided for context and does not represent a prediction of future value.
