While sales at the big three auction houses, Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and Phillips, declined 23 percent from 2022 to 2023, Artnet reported that revenue gained from the highest-end artworks  (more than USD 10 million) has dropped 40 percent. Recent sales found more traction away from the headliners of recent years.
