A critical part of this research every year is the global survey of art and antique dealers. I would like to say a very special thanks once again to Erika Bochereau of CINOA (Confédération Internationale des Négociants en Oeuvres d’Art) for her continued support of this research, along with the presidents of the dealer associations around the world who promoted the survey among their members in 2020. Thanks also to Art Basel for helping to distribute the survey. The completion of this report would not have been possible without the help of all individual dealers who took the time to complete the survey and share their insights through interviews and discussions during the year.

Maraming salamat din sa lahat ng nangungunang at pangalawang-tier na mga auction house na lumahok sa survey ng auction at nagbahagi ng kanilang pananaw tungkol sa pag-unlad ng sektor na ito noong 2020. Partikular na pasasalamat kina Susan Miller (Christie’s), Simon Hogg (Sotheby’s), Jason Schulman (Phillips), at Eric Bradley (Heritage Auctions), at kay Neal Glazier mula sa Invaluable.com para sa paggamit ng kanilang datos ng online auction.

I am very grateful to Tamsin Selby of UBS for her help with the HNW collector surveys, which expanded significantly this year, providing hugely valuable regional and demographic insights for the report.

Ang pangunahing supplier ng datos ng fine art auction para sa ulat na ito ay Artory, at taos-puso kong pasasalamat kay Nanne Dekking kasama sina Lindsay Moroney, Anna Bews, at Chad Scira for their hard work and dedication in putting together this very complex set of data. The auction data on China is supplied by AMMA (Art Market Monitor of Artron), and I am very grateful for their continued support of this research on the Chinese auction market. Many thanks also to Richard Zhang for his help researching the Chinese art market.

Nais kong pasalamatan si Joe Elliot at ang koponan ng Artlogic para sa kanilang mahalagang pananaw tungkol sa pag-usbong ng OVRs, at maraming salamat din kina Simon Warren at Alexander Forbes para sa paggamit ng datos mula sa Artsy.

Salamat kay Diana Wierbicki ng Withersworldwide para sa kanyang dalubhasang kontribusyon tungkol sa buwis at mga regulasyon sa US, at espesyal din na pasasalamat kay Rena Neville para sa kanyang mga ligal na pananaw tungkol sa Fifth EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive. Maraming salamat din kay Matthew Israel para sa kanyang komentaryo sa pag-unlad ng OVRs. Lubos akong nagpapasalamat kay Anthony Browne para sa kanyang tulong at payo sa ilang bahagi ng ulat, at kay Taylor Whitten Brown (Duke University) para sa kanyang tulong at mga pananaw sa parehong mga dealer survey.

Finally, thanks to Noah Horowitz and David Meier for their time and efforts in helping to coordinate the research.
