This paper examines the evolution since 1967 of the world art mar- ket shares held by the leading countries (the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Japan and China) and then analyses the factors that allowed one of these countries, Switzerland, to gain a disproportionately strong position in the world market for cultural goods. It breaks new ground in historiography by creating solid long-term statistical series, thus helping to advance research in a field that attracts abundant media attention but is still largely unexplored by scholars.
