The Trends
1. Abstract paintings are most important to gallery sales.
For 59% of respondents, non-figurative paintings (which includes abstract painting, as well as associated genres such as minimalist painting, spiritual abstraction, and neo–abstract expressionism) were selected as most important to their business now. In contrast, 45% of galleries ranked figurative painting highest.
