The Art Market Review was created by a specialist trained in private law and art market law at Université Paris II Panthéon-Assas and art history at the Sorbonne, with a professional background in prestigious Parisian galleries and over ten years of direct experience in the primary contemporary art market. The analytical frameworks it produces are not theoretical constructions. They are drawn from direct observation of how decisions are made inside galleries, by collectors, and at institutional level.

That experience produced one consistent observation: the primary art market operates through mechanisms that are rarely explained to those most affected by them. Its hierarchies are informal, its selection criteria almost never made explicit, and the logic by which careers are built or stalled is systematically withheld from the practitioners it concerns most. The information gap is not incidental. It is structural.

The Art Market Review exists to close that gap. Its analysis translates the mechanisms of the primary market into precise, actionable terms: pricing logic, representation models, institutional hierarchies, collector acquisition dynamics, positioning frameworks. What most practitioners acquire, if at all, through years of direct market experience, The Art Market Review makes accessible from the outset.

Its publications and analytical tools are designed for professional artists at decisive stages of their careers: the moments where a pricing decision, a gallery relationship, or a positioning choice will have structural consequences for the years that follow. The objective is not inspiration. It is the structural clarity that allows those decisions to be made with a precise read of the field they operate within.
