PARIS, Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite the big
result for an exceptional (and relatively small) painting by
Frida Kahlo, the Mexican artist was
still only 18th in Artprice's ranking of artists by auction
turnover for the month of November
2021, behind 17 male artists. And while this trend was
completely reversed for the generation of artists born after 1985
(the 8 top-selling signatures were all young women!), we ask: what
is the gender parity situation on the NFT market?
thierry Ehrmann, CEO and Founder of Artmarket.com and its
Artprice department: "The creation of the NFTs market should be
an opportunity to achieve some sort of gender parity on the art
market. The technology is revolutionizing an entire industry, as
shown by Art Basel Miami Beach which opens its doors this year to
Tezos ("home to one of the fastest growing NFT artist
communities") and Scope Miami which has decided to issue its
VIP invitations in the form of non-fungible tokens".
"World of Women"
It's only a few years since NFTs first appeared on the web, and
only a few months since the general public discovered non-fungible
digital tokens; but some have already commented the lack of a
female presence in this new world. Several projects have
nevertheless been developed to try to correct this imbalance,
starting with a collection of exclusively female PFPs (profile
pictures) by World of Women:
https://opensea.io/collection/world-of-women-nft
"World of Women was created to bring more diversity and
inclusiveness to the NFT space while bridging the gap between
collectibles and single edition art worlds".
Considering the traditional art market's long-standing gender
disparity, fears of a male-dominated digital world seem perfectly
rational. New York's prestige
sales in November – driven by the Macklowe Collection at Sotheby's
and the Cox Collection at Christie's – were once again dominated by
the likes of Warhol, Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, Twombly, Rothko,
Giacometti, Richter, etc.
But things are changing…
Frida Kahlo was the top-selling
female artist at the November auctions this year, but she was
behind eighteen men. A study published by Ken Bromley Art Supplies
in 2020 revealed that the Mexican painter ranked second among the
world's most searched artists on Google (first in 29 countries)
behind Leonardo Da Vinci.
Diego y yo (1949) is one of the most important
paintings by Frida Kahlo that
doesn't belong to a museum. On 16 November
2021 it fetched $34 million at
Sotheby's, 22 times its previous value in 1990. Although it was a
very impressive result for the Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo is still not competing with
Andy Warhol, whose signature
generated $165 million at the
November 2021 prestige auctions.

Over the past decade, female artists under 40 have nevertheless
established themselves as the most successful artists of their
generation on the auction market. In 2013 - 2014, collectors became
enamoured with the work of Tauba
Auerbach (1981) represented by the Paula Cooper gallery.
This trend has gradually intensified to the point where the
turnover ranking of artists born after 1985 (for November 2021) is heavily dominated by female
painters.
