人们一度想当然地认为,如果一幅毕加索名画在纽约豪华的拍卖会上卖出了1亿多美元,那么它对全球艺术品市场的推动,甚至会使英国乡下一间小古董店的老板受益。但这再也不可能了。虽然随着世界各地的收藏家新贵追逐日益稀少的艺术珍品,高端艺术品市场持续走强,但收藏家对普通古董的兴趣,尤其是对“棕色”家具和银器的兴趣则在持续下降。 It was once taken for granted that if a Picasso masterpiece sold more than $ 100 million at a luxury New York auction, its push for the global art market would even benefit the owner of a small antique shop in the English countryside. But this is no longer possible. Although the interest of collectors in ordinary antiques, especially their interest in “brown” furniture and silverware, has been declining, as more and more rare art treasures are chased by collectors all over the world and the high-end art market continues to grow. .
