What Is Fueling Demand at Artnet’s 20th Century Art Auction?

Artnet’s 20th Century Art auction brings together artists internationally recognized for the pioneering ways they responded to a rapidly modernizing world.

Browse works by Joan Miró, Roy Lichtenstein, Yves Klein, Sam Francis, Marc Chagall, Wayne Thiebaud, Bridget Riley, and more, spanning major artistic movements of the last century.

20th Century Art is now live for bidding through March 19, 2026.

What makes a work of art scarce? And what makes it rare? The two are not always the same, and in the high-pressure environment of art auctions, that difference can influence collector demand. Artnet specialists Jason Rulnick and Sylvie François Sturtevant examine the subtle distinctions between “scarcity” and “rarity” in the market.
