艺术品指数

今日发布的梅-摩艺术品指数（MeiMosesArtindex）将显示，今年一季度，艺术品价格下跌了35%。在金融危机爆发后的最初几个月，艺术品价格相对保持稳定。

The Mei Moses index , set for release today , shows art prices fell 35 per cent in the first quarter , having held up during earlier months of the financial crisis .

摩西表示：我们也许还有一年左右的好时光。摩西与他的同事梅建平共同编制了梅摩艺术品指数（MeiMoses）。

We may still have a year or so more to run , says Mr Moses , who with his colleague Jianping Mei compiles the Mei Moses art index .

梅摩艺术品指数利用重复交易数据追踪艺术品在一段时期内的售价，方法与标准普尔的case-shiller房价指数类似。

The index tracks the prices at which works of art sell over time using repeat sales data , in a methodology similar to the S & P Case-Shiller property index .

如今已出现了大约6个艺术品指数，衡量各个领域和各位艺术家作品价格的涨幅。

About half a dozen art indices have sprung up , measuring the rise in prices of sectors and artists .

目前约有6个供应商提供艺术品市场指数，如毕加索（Picasso）指数或大师级作品（OldMasters）指数，追踪艺术家及艺术流派多年来的行情表现。

There are now about half a dozen players offering art market indices that track the performance of artists and genres of art over time , such as a Picasso index , or an Old Masters index .

所有这些并不是说艺术品数据库和指数毫无用处。

All this is not to say that the art databases and indices are of no use .

当代艺术品市场的涨升尤为强劲，《艺术品市场报告》的当代艺术品100指数显示，过去3年中，当代艺术品价格上涨了300%。

The rise in the contemporary market has been especially strong , with prices up by 300 per cent in the past three years , according to Art Market Report 's Contemporary Art 100 index .
