A Data Visualization of Art & Money
Submitted by Steve on August 2, 2012
From Elizabeth Quaglieri at technology In the Arts:
Looking for a well-worth-it distraction? Check out Art & Money, an animated art auction infographic by Jean Abbiateci. It visualizes metrics for the top 270 most expensive artworks sold in auction between 2008 and 2011.
Data visualized includes the size of the artwork, the artist’s nationality, date created, selling price, etc. The data is then sorted in different categories so viewers can explore the relationship between male and female buyers, a comparison between top-selling work of dead artists and living artists, a look at how the top auction houses compare, etc.
