In this Expansión article by María José G. Serranillos, it is noted that, after a year of uncertainty, the art market is beginning to show signs of recovery. According to Elisa Hernando , founder of Arte Global , the results of the latest London auctions have provided a boost to optimism: Christie's raised €61 million, compared to the €48 million forecast, and Sotheby's reached €106 million, compared to the €68 million estimate.
Hernando emphasizes that, although prices continue to fall, the crisis has served to eliminate excesses : purchasing decisions are now more thoughtful, and people only opt for safe options .

According to Hernando, this approach reflects a more selective and sustainable market, with opportunities to spot real bargains in the current climate.
