Short contemporary art
Except Chinese contemporary art, obvious. From the FT:
modern art has mainly been bought by the nouveaux riches who made their money in the bull market: the hedge fund managers, the investment bankers, the media moguls. Most of these would-be collectors are running for cover, having been battered by the credit crunch, with bonuses and bumper payouts now just a memory. The few rich left – the Russians, oil sheikhs and the like – don’t buy much contemporary art. The years of easy money, which have driven so much asset price inflation, are surely over and now is the reckoning, when the froth evaporates.I agree with Luke Johnson. This year's Frieze is going to be interesting.
