Contemporary African art: after the explosion, disillusionment. Inflated too quickly, the market slows down and sorts out the artists.
This is evidenced by the wait-and-see attitude at the 1-54 fair in Marrakech, where the historic brands have not returned. But a beneficial rebalancing is looming. The boom came ten years ago - the peak from 2017 to 2022. Today, this market is not immune to the global slowdown, against a backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian war.
