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.

Many thanks also to Richard Zhang for his help researching the Chinese art market.
