Origins and History
The avant-garde movement of the early 20th century was a challenge to traditional artistic norms. As the art world grew more competitive, discounted contemporary artworks became more common.
Nowadays, contemporary artworks can be sold at a discount under a variety of circumstances, usually when galleries, artists, or sellers wish to incentivize potential buyers. This may occur at art fairs or during sales events when galleries aim to sell pieces quickly or to make room for new inventory.
Discounts may also be offered to repeat customers or collectors who have shown continued support for an artist, as a kind of loyalty reward. Sometimes, if an artwork has been in inventory for an extended period, a gallery might reduce the price to encourage its sale. In the primary market, artists might offer discounts to institutions or collectors who commit to public display or loan of the artwork, ensuring the work is seen and appreciated. However, it’s worth noting that while discounting can be a useful tool, it needs to be used carefully. Consistent or deep discounting can affect an artist’s overall market value and can create an expectation of reduced prices among collectors, potentially devaluing the artist’s work in the long term.

Evolutions of theses works in the contemporary art market
The pricing of contemporary artworks in the art market is a complex process that considers several factors, making it more of an art than a science. It is primarily determined by an artist’s historical sales record and the prices that similar artworks by the same artist have fetched in the past. This is known as the artist’s "secondary market" prices. Dealers, gallerists, and auction houses also look at the "primary market" prices, which are the initial prices set by the artist and their representing gallery when first selling the artwork. The size, medium, condition, and provenance of the artwork are also influential factors. Additionally, the reputation of the artist plays a significant role.
If an artist is represented by a well-known gallery, has had major museum exhibitions, or has been reviewed or featured in prominent art publications, their work may command higher prices. In recent years, another influential factor has been the rise of digital art and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which have added a new dimension to the pricing of contemporary art, often driven by market speculation and the novelty of the technology. It’s important to note that the art market can be unpredictable, with prices sometimes fluctuating widely due to shifts in taste, economic conditions, and other external factors.
