Art Market Trends in New Zealand
- A conversation with Sophie Coupland and Briar Williams

We were delighted to have fine art and valuation specialists Sophie Coupland and Briar Williams of Art Valuations New Zealand join us on our first online seminar to discuss art market trends over the past decade, which artists and periods have performed best – and worst, and the art market in 2020 during this extraordinary Covid-19 environment.

Sophie and Briar answered some of the questions around the nuances of the present fine art market and their thinking around future growth areas.

How art is valued and the different ways that value can be considered is important for anyone looking to insure their artworks and art care will be covered, including some important dos and don’ts.
