Browsing the archives

Issues are listed from most recent to oldest, by year. Each entry gives the date, the editorial title and the main sections. A filter allows you to choose the language, period and theme.

A search engine queries the full text of the issues. It can find, for example, every passage devoted to a convention, a restitution operation or a given event.

Special issues

On the occasion of the General Assembly, the Forum on the Digital Market or the publication of the annual report, a special issue explores the subject in depth. It includes interviews, commented figures and links to official documents.

Special issues are identified by a label at the top of the list. They are particularly useful for anyone wishing to understand the context of a decision or event.

Citing and sharing

Each issue has a permanent address. The title, date and language of the version consulted should be cited. Sharing by email or on social networks is free; full reproduction must credit OIMAP as the source.

The images illustrating the issues belong to the photo library. Their reuse is governed by the rules of the image request.

Preservation and reliability

The archives are kept on two sites and backed up daily. The links published in an issue are checked every quarter; when a target page has changed address, the redirect is updated.

A correction made to an issue is flagged at the top of the page. The old version remains accessible, so that a citation made before the correction remains verifiable.

Using the archives for research

Researchers, students and journalists will find a chronicle of the art market and of regulation spanning several years. The figures cited in each issue refer to the annual report of the corresponding year.

To compare data over time, it is recommended to refer to the statistical publications rather than to the newsletter, whose figures are rounded for readability.
