VOICED: Low expectation as auction season opens

The video discusses the impact of the recession on the art market, particularly focusing on Sotheby's and Christie's auctions. It highlights how bidders are now more price-conscious, leading to lower prices for contemporary art, with a significant drop in the highest-priced items compared to previous years. The video also touches on historical market fluctuations and suggests that the current financial reality may be temporary, with expectations of a market rebound. Despite the recession, Sotheby's and Christie's anticipate selling up to $200 million this year, a decrease from $600 million in 2008.
