Much like the art market as a whole, the market for photography at auction showed some signs of weakness in 2023. Sales at Christie’s, Sotheby’s, and Phillips were down by 16% compared to 2022, according to ArtTactic—a slump not as drastic as the decline of 27% over the same period for overall auction sales at the three houses. Notably, ArtTactic also found that sales volumes for photography in 2023 were the strongest since it started tracking the market in 2015, meaning that the works are becoming more commonplace at the major auction houses.
Beyond these top-line figures for established names in the medium, momentum is most pronounced in lower price points: ArtTactic found a 36% increase in sales value for photographs that sold for under $5,000 between 2022 and 2023, with levels up by almost 200% since 2019.
