Art Radar Asia has put together a list of this year’s biggest-selling Asian artists, compiled from the Artprice Annual Report (2009/2010). Out of the 500 international contemporary artists named by Artprice, 238 come from Asia.

And with artists like Yifei Chen (China), Anish Kapoor (India) and Takashi Murakami (Japan) topping the list, the results of this report are a testament to the continued growth of the Asian art market.

In terms of list entry, not by dollar value but by inclusion, Chinese artists dominate the list with a staggering 90 entries (between 7th and 500th place). In second place are the 23 artists from Japan (between 25th and 442nd place) and Turkey comes in third with 18 artists (between 140th and 475th place). China and India are the only Asian countries with artists in the top 10 and of the 15 Asian countries represented in the list only artists from China, India, Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, Korea and Iran make the top 100.
