Abstract

We hypothesize the existence of a slow-moving fad component in art prices. Using unique panel survey data on art market participants’ confidence levels in the outlook for a set of artists, we find that sentiment indeed predicts short-term returns.

Keywords: art; return predictability; sentiment; fads

JEL Classification: G02; G11; Z11
