REVOLVER Gallery in West Hollywood just released its 2019 Andy Warhol Market Report (AWMR). The 32-page report offers a rich insight into Warhol and his place in the current art-market economy.
REVOLVER’s report: By understanding the Warhol market in the context of the contemporary art economy, and by investing in that market, we explore the duality between art and commerce that characterized Warhol’s career, and we subscribe to the mythos of the “business artist” that he created around himself.
Sharing our Warhol knowledge with clients and the public has been an integral part of Revolver Gallery’s business model since our inception. Since we first opened in 2013, we have curated numerous high-profile exhibitions, hosted academic lectures, and fostered educational initiatives in the public sphere, all while offering to clients our expertise and advice on buying and selling Warhol artwork.

For example, there was nearly the same number of public sales in 2007 (1,102) as there was in 2018 (1,064); the spike in the index in 2018 versus 2007 is due to the increased adjusted average sales price.
