Shorting or going long in the stock and Fx markets are popular trading strategies — I'm curious to know if a similar approach can be adopted for alternative asset classes such as Art.
Art exchanges are booming, allowing investors worldwide to trade art on a much more liquid and 'transparent' market. To what extent can we see significant profits by using the same trading strategies in the financial markets? Has anyone tried this yet?
* am conscious that the expected return on prices of Art can be a lag
There is financial speculation on the Art Market too but It could be dangerous for the value of an artist and his work. We know that few artists or their gallerits manipulate(d) artist rating.
You can follow each artist's market ranking on websites like https://www.artprice.com/

Valerie P. You should evaluate what happens with the NFT trend on Art Market. It's really interesting and unpredictable as a phenomenon.
How many layers of copyright infringement are in Emily Ratajkowski’s new NFT, Ratajkowski trolls an art troll, by Jacob Kastrenakes@jake_k Apr 24, 2021, https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/24/22399790/emily-ratajkowski-nft-christies-copyright-nightmare-richard-prince
I would like to add my reflection to this conversation, even though I know this does not strike the heart of this discussion. In every moment of transition such as the one we are experiencing, opposite trends emerge. There is a general and strong direction towards a liquid market of which crypto art is a vanguard. On the contrary, I see the possibility of a ritualization of the buyer's experience that can encounter a more traditional and material transaction. In this old or new trend, the possibility of market manipulation is reduced.
