Skate Press has released Skate’s Art Investment Handbook, an unbiased investment guide to buying and selling the world’s most expensive art. It is available for purchase.

The book was first released in Russia in 2006 after being written as a guide for Russia’s newly wealthy, who are currently among the art world’s most significant buyers. After selling out within six months of publication there, it was expanded to serve a broader international market.

Using a combination of proprietary editorial and aggregated statistical data, Skate's Art Investment Handbook describes a rational approach to investing in art with valuation drivers and market statistics, an analysis of how the art market compares to other investment markets, and a special supplement carrying the ratings of the world's 1000 most expensive artworks and 50 most valuable artists.

You can review the table of contents and the introduction to the handbook.
