Pricing art and the art of pricing: On returns and risk in art auction markets

European Financial Management, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1139-1198, November 2022., 2022
Abstract We study price determinants and investment performance of art using a vast sample of transactions worldwide over the past 60 years. We focus on paintings and drawings which have appreciated at a real (nominal) annual return of 2.49% (6.24%). Higher art returns are reached for paintings at the high end of the price distribution, oil paintings ...

Inspired by surimono: Integrating photography and poetry to bring plants into focus

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 136-142, March 2022., 2022
Plants are our sources of oxygen, food, medicines, clothing, building materials, fuels. They are part of our history, our trade, our imaginations. Here we investigate the potential for integration of photographs and poetry to bring plants to life and let them tell their stories, inspired by the ancient Japanese woodprint artform, surimono.

Big Transfer Learning for Fine Art Classification

Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Automatic classification and retrieval of fine art collections have received much attention in recent years. In this article, we explore the applicability of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for art‐related image classification tasks. To examine how hyperparameters affect model performance, we use different hyperparameters in our experiments and ...
