¹ Data refer to an annual study including an online survey distributed to the memberships of some of the main dealer association worldwide (such as CINOA, ADAA, CPGA, SLAD, FEAGA) and national associations. In addition, Art Basel directly distributed a survey to individual galleries that participated in their shows in Basel, Miami Beach, Paris, and Hong Kong.
Missing percentage points to 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
