Artmark organized 50 auctions with a total value of objects sold of about EUR10.8 million euros in 2022, 16% more auctions than in 2021 and 21% more than in 2029.
The number of auctions increased by 16% compared to 2021 and 21% compared with 2020.
Also last year, Artmark expanded into Bulgaria and Croatia, opening two auction houses in Sofia and Zagreb under its brand. The first local art auctions are scheduled for spring-summer 2023.
The number of online bidders in auctions also increased, by 14% in 2022, even though the lifting of pandemic restrictions gradually brought people interested in buying art back into physical halls. The artmark.ro platform saw more than one million unique visitors in 2022, up 35%.
Online auctions were attended by buyers from 32 countries, including South Africa, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, UK, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, China, Cyprus, Denmark, Switzerland, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Italy.
