The Chart above shows art sale be country in 2011.

According to this research the biggest art buying country in the world is China followed by the United States with Italy being the smallest. Why is that though? I believe this has something to do with the amount of art seen on a daily basis.

China, with the most art sales, is one of two things either highly industrialized and built up or farming country. Art is secluded to museums and to the people who can afford to buy it along with the few monuments that are still standing around the country. So it makes sense that with the amount of people they have and lack of art around them They would spend the most to get it.

Next is the United States, While we have many museums we also have that want to own the beauty in the art therefore we spend a lot to get it.

Finally Italy, in a country that is surrounded by art made by the Romans so many years ago all it takes for them to enjoy this art is to step outside. They have no need to buy what they can experience for free.

So that is my breakdown, there may be a completely different answer but mine sort of makes sense doesn't it?
