POLAND.-
In a month’s time it is going to open a gallery in Berlin, and soon afterwards in Los Angeles, London and Dubai. Abbey House SA operates in the very niche market of works of art, currently estimated at 300 million zlotys. In a few years’ time, however, it may grow up to 6 billion zlotys. The total figures related to sales of paintings in Q1 2011 in Poland raise optimism. Works of art worth over 10 million zlotys have been sold, which makes it possible to predict a year-end result of 40–50 million zlotys, i.e. 40 per cent higher than last year.
