Value

Antony Gormley's sculptures command significant sales prices, reaffirming his status as a highly sought-after contemporary artist. His overall art market demonstrates a compelling pattern of sustained upward momentum, marked by a notable absence of significant deviations. This enduring strength can be attributed to remarkable six-figure sales and prestigious exhibitions centred around his sculptural practice and hosted by renowned institutions and galleries, such as the Royal Academy of Arts in London and his representing gallery, White Cube. Notably, A Case For An Angel I (1989) established an auction record surpassing £5 million in 2017. 

While Gormley's sculptures have gained widespread recognition, there is an emerging trend in his print market, which is increasingly gaining traction and circulating within the secondary market. Gormley's prints possess the same essence and thematic elements in his sculptures, allowing collectors to engage with Gormley's artistic vision through a different medium.

Antony Gormley, a celebrated British sculptor, has gained widespread recognition for his expansive body of work, predominately consisting of large-scale installations situated in site-specific public spaces. In his formative years, Gormley was exposed to Catholicism through his attendance at a boarding school, which played a significant role in shaping his upbringing. As an artist, one of Gormley’s remarkable talents lies in his capacity to transcend the specificities of Catholic devotional practices and imbue his works with a universal quality. This ability to tap into the devotional impulses inherent in Catholicism continues to influence and inform his artistic perspective and approach. Below are 10 facts about the artist:

The most anticipated event in London’s art market has arrived, with the iconic white tent settling

in Regent's Park. Frieze presents its two sections: Frieze London and Frieze Masters, drawing the usual crowd of celebrities and art enthusiasts. Coinciding with the marquee auctions at

This year’s Frieze art fair held particular significance, following 

, which received lukewarm reviews and mirrored the uneasy mood brought on by rising interest rates. More gravely, the onset of the Israeli-Gaza conflict cast a somber shadow over the usual atmosphere of excitement and anticipation. Despite these challenges, the fair went on, and this year, although geopolitical unrest and high interest rates persist, the atmosphere felt refreshingly different. Walking into this year's tent was exhilarating, a feeling echoed by the dealers we spoke with. There was an undeniable buzz in the air, in-part thanks to the fresh presentation and dynamic new layout, which energised the atmosphere. It was a powerful reminder of why Frieze plays such a significant and vital role in the art market and cultural setting.

Frieze Reports Strong Sales With A Revamped Design: The Prints and Editions Review 2024

Phillips was third in line for the October marquee auctions. On Thursday, 10th of October, Phillips sold 24 out of the 34 lots offered, achieving a hammer total of just over £12 million–23% below the anticipated £15 million presale estimate.

Concluding the October marquee evening sales of the big three auction houses, Phillips Modern & Contemporary Art Evening Sale achieved £12 million at the hammer. This total reflects a 16% decrease compared to last year. What contributed to this shortfall? One obvious factor is the high interest rates in the UK, leading to more selective buying. Additionally, Phillips presented 34 lots, just six fewer than last year, but the sale saw a higher number of withdrawn and unsold lots–three withdrawals (including Lot 13 pre-sale) and seven unsold, though this was fewer than at 

. While most of the withdrawn and unsold pieces were lower-valued, these works would have contributed an addition £4 million to the sale at the low estimate.

Despite these challenges, the auction achieved a 77% sell-through rate, with a refreshing selection of mostly fresh-to-market works–a balanced mix of emerging talent and established blue chip names.Slightly more than half of the lots either met or exceeded expectations, which was a positive outcome for the sale.

After opting out of the June marquee sales, Christie’s kicked off the October sales series, which famously aligns with Frieze Week, with a highly anticipated auction. Led by head auctioneer Adrien Meyer, the 56-lot sale had estimated values of £73.4m - £110.7m and hammered at just over £69 million (hammer), ultimately delivering mixed, but solid results.

Compared to last year's figures of the same sale, Christie’s actually performed 89% higher with just three more lots sold–an impressive achievement. However, in 2023, Christie’s benefited from the Sam Josefowitz private collection, which contributed an additional £42.3 million, bringing last year’s evening sale total to £78.7 million, which is a 14% difference. Out of the 56-lot sale, 4 works were withdrawn and 8 went unsold, most from 20th century names, resulting in an 85% sell-through rate.

The shortfall can be attributed to the majority of lots selling within or below estimates, with 33% falling short and 32% meeting expectations. Despite this, most resales surpassed their previous values. With 23 auction house guarantees (12 with irrevocable bids), the sale still reflected confidence in the market and the preset values of the works, aligning with current market conditions.

Sotheby’s Contemporary Evening sale followed just hours after 

, offering significantly fewer lots–less than half of its competitor’s total. With only 22 lots and presale estimates ranging from £34m - £47.5m, the sale achieved a hammer total of just over £31 million, resulting in a 81% sell-through rate.

Departing from its usual two-sale format, which typically includes The Now, Sotheby’s opted to present only its Contemporary Evening Auction this year. The sale saw a notable 21% increase in hammer total compared to last year’s equivalent auction. However, when combining 

The Now and Contemporary Evening auctions from 2023

, this year's sale reflects a 19% drop overall. Despite these contrasts, and excluding the four unsold lots, 49% of the works–11 lots–either met or exceeded expectations. Of the six house-guaranteed lots, two carried irrevocable bids.

Starting in Kew Bridge in Richmond and making their way southeast to Peckham, these works have sent Banksy fans and street art enthusiasts on a quest to decipher their meaning.

Since Monday 5th August, Banksy has been announcing the

Thus far, the animal artworks have charted a line from Richmond in West London to Peckham in South East. While we initially surmised that the artworks might be appearing in a calculated sequence, with one goat appearing on Monday, two elephants on Tuesday, and three monkeys on Wednesday, this theory was debunked with a lone wolf being announced on Thursday 8th. The works have been subject to much debate; the reason behind the choice of animals and their locations as of yet unknown.
