Artmarket.com: according to our long-term data, art made in 1964 has generated more auction turnover than art made in any other year of the 20th century
PARIS, June 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — May’s auction results in New York showed that after all the records set by the Paul G. Allen, Anne H. Bass, and Thomas Ammann collections, 2023 began with relative sobriety. In an interview with journalist Amy Shaw for the Art Newspaper at Art Basel, art dealer Dominique Lévy said he detects the presence of a “clear correction”. Artprice takes this opportunity to review the acceleration of the art market since the beginning of the 21st century, via a quick look at the works that the market values the most.

“The analysis of auctions results is a fascinating way to examine the evolution of Art History”, explains thierry Ehrmann, President of Artmarket.com and Founder of Artprice. “Our databases, have collected objective and comprehensive Fine Art auction data for more than 30 years from all over the world. They therefore provide an extraordinary tool for studying the appetites of collectors and revealing what our contemporaries value the most”.
The triumph of Pop Art
In 1964, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, and Ed Ruscha were at the peak of their careers and these four artists all have auction price records for works created that year, in the midst of the Cold War, just a few months after the assassination of President J.F. Kennedy. These records, to which must be added more than thirteen thousand other auction results for artworks made that year, make 1964 the year-of-creation that generated the greatest volume of auction turnover in the period 2000 to 2023 (twenty-two years), all creative periods combined: $2.48 billion.
Having fetched the second best art auction result of all time at $195 million on 9 May 2022 at Christie’s in New York, Andy Warhol’s Shot sage blue Marilyn (1964) is now a sort of figurehead for that year (1964). Although from a market perspective the previous two years were just as important for Warhol, 1964 is also remembered in the art world for another reason: in 1964 Robert Rauschenberg won the Grand Prize at the Venice Biennale. Indeed, promoted by Leo Castelli (and perhaps even supported by the CIA), in 1964 Pop Art imposed itself in the art world thereby consolidating a significant shift of art (and the art market) to the West… a transfer of power from Paris to New York on the international scene. The way this transfer came about has been the subject of intense discussion.

Abstraction, Pop Art and Expressionism
In the mid-1960s, several major artists of the first half of the 20th century were still creating important works. Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, and René Magritte were still active. In Asia, Li Keran and Fu Baoshi were perpetuating the art of traditional Chinese painting by giving it very personal touches of modernity, while in Europe Zao Wou-Ki and some of his compatriots were exploring Lyrical Abstraction. In England, a new generation was making its mark: David Hockney was 27 in 1964, Frank Auerbach was 33 and Lucien Freud was 42. They were just at the beginning of their careers, but that year Francis Bacon, aged 55, painted some of his best portraits.
In the United States, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Willem De Kooning, and Clyfford Still were still exploring Abstract Expressionism and Jackson Pollock had passed away a few year back, while a new artistic revolution was emerging: Pop Art. It was this movement that truly imposed America on the international art scene and the international art market. The works themselves were often brilliant and eye-catching but they also often contained covert or less-covert criticism of the American dream. In France, Pierre Soulages has already painted his best canvases, but a new Expressionist scene was beginning to emerge in Germany, with Gerhard Richter and Sigmar Polke, Georg Baselitz, and Anselm Kiefer, among others. Their work unfolded over many years and therefore did not produce the same concentration of market value as the American Pop Art movement.
The success of this movement was notably due to a relatively small number of series of works on which collectors focused heavily, and these series were created by the great names of American Pop Art and were generally worked and reworked for a few years… around 1964.

SynFutures Introduces the First ‘Perp Launchpad’ with $1M Grant to Support Emerging Token Projects
The new product enables anyone to launch perpetual futures markets for any asset, fostering innovation in the DeFi space amid the rise of memecoins and long-tail assets.
HONG KONG, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SynFutures (www.synfutures.com), a leading decentralized derivatives protocol, today announced the launch of its Perp Launchpad, the first launchpad product focused on derivatives markets rather than spot markets. The new product allows any project to launch perpetual futures markets for any native asset. Alongside this launch, SynFutures is unveiling a $1 million Perp Launchpad Grant program to support emerging projects in listing their tokens and enhancing their visibility within the rapidly expanding on-chain markets.
The crypto market has recently witnessed a surge in memecoins and other long-tail assets capturing the attention of retail traders. Designed to complement trending spot markets with open and efficient derivatives markets, SynFutures’ Perp Launchpad enables projects to unlock new token demand and utility, providing their communities with passive LP (liquidity provider) rewards and more ways to trade and hedge risk through leveraged perpetual futures trading.
Perp Launchpad also pioneers the on-chain derivatives space by supporting coin-margined perp markets with single token concentrated liquidity, as well as a vault feature that helps optimize liquidity to generate consistent yields for liquidity providers.
Launching First on Base
The initial launch of Perp Launchpad will take place on Base, allowing projects to launch perp trading pairs for any native asset on the growing L2 network. The launch follows a successful launchpad pilot program with established LST, LRT, and stablecoin projects like Lido, Solv Protocol, and PumpBTC.
SynFutures has been a significant contributor to the Base ecosystem growth. Since the Base expansion of V3, the latest iteration of the SynFutures protocol in July 2024, SynFutures has accounted for more than 50% of the total derivatives trading volume on Base, amounting to over $23 billion in cumulative trading volume and 138,000 on-chain users.
$1 Million Grant Program for Emerging Projects
To further support emerging projects and cultivate a thriving on-chain derivatives ecosystem, SynFutures has allocated $1 million through the Perp Launchpad Grant. Individual projects can receive grants in the form of campaign support, liquidity provision, and trading incentives, as well as co-marketing and promotional support to activate new listings.
“Providing access to derivatives markets for emerging tokens is crucial in today’s dynamic trading environment,” said Rachel Lin, Co-Founder and CEO at SynFutures. “By enabling perpetual futures markets for new and trending tokens, we’re not only meeting the market demand but also supporting the growth and diversification of the DeFi ecosystem. Our Perp Launchpad and Grant Program are designed to empower these projects, offering them the tools and resources they need to bring more utility and depth to their tokens.”
The Perp Launchpad Grant builds upon SynFutures’ successful track record of supporting emerging tokens. Previous initiatives like the DAO Perps Program and Meme Perp Summer have supported various projects, including DEGEN and MEW, both of which have seen significant success since their listings on V3 in July and August 2024, respectively.
Unique Opportunities for Traders
For traders, the Perp Launchpad offers the chance to access a wider range of assets, including trending tokens that may not be available on other platforms across CeFi and DeFi. As memecoins and long-tail assets continue to drive attention, traders can engage in leveraged trading to capitalize on market movements and potential arbitrage opportunities. The platform also offers various incentives such as trading competitions and promotional events, providing traders with additional avenues to enhance their returns while participating in the on-chain economy.
Applications Now Open
Applications for the Perp Launchpad Grant are now open and will be accepted on a rolling basis. Eligible projects are encouraged to submit applications via the application form, check eligibility requirements at http://launchpad.synfutures.com/.
About SynFutures
SynFutures is a decentralized perpetual futures protocol that facilitates open and transparent trading on any assets and listings instantly. The V3 Oyster AMM launched the industry’s first-ever unified AMM and on-chain order book model.
Backers include Tier 1 Web3 institutional investors Pantera Capital, Polychain Capital, Susquehanna International Group (SIG), Dragonfly Capital, Standard Crypto, and Framework Ventures, and the team has extensive experience at global financial institutions, fintech companies and blockchain technology companies such as Alipay, Bitmain, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Matrixport, and Nomura Securities.
