Between 2010 and 2021, non-European art sales reached $971.8m. More importantly, global turnover has more than doubled over the past twelve years, rising from $61m in 2010 to $127.5m in 2021, the best year ever for the tribal art market. Several factors explain this spectacular recovery.
While the economic world was still groggy from a year of pandemic crisis that brought international trade to an unprecedented halt, 2020 was, unsurprisingly, the worst year for the tribal art market with a global result of $37.3m (compared to $58.6 in 2019 and $77.8m in 2018). This was an honourable result, given the exceptional circumstances in which transactions that year were off the radar during a confined first half of the year.
