ArtTactic is delighted to launch its second analysis of the NFT Art Market. This Market+ Analysis focuses on the sale of NFTs during the period of January 2020 to September 2021 and takes a data deep-dive into NFT transactions taking place on Nifty Gateway, the biggest curated NFT marketplace. The report also covers additional data from top sales across other major NFT platforms through 27th October 2021 including Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Phillips, Foundation, and SuperRare. We also take a closer look at the artists and creators of NFTs exploring questions such as: Who are the makers of NFTs? Where do they come from? How democratic is the NFT market? Is there a fair distribution of income or is it a winner-takes-all market?
