Artmarket.com: las subastas dan alas a la industria del arte y la cultura, interrumpida por la pandemia

PARÍS, 18 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Mientras los museos siguen buscando soluciones que les permitan volver a recibir visitantes (aunque sea en pequeñas cantidades, incluso si eso supone tener pérdidas como en el MET de Nueva York¹), el mercado de las subastas se ha convertido en una válvula de escape para ciertas instituciones, y ya los primeros resultados de 2021 atestiguan un alto nivel de demanda en las salas de subastas.

<a…

Enero… El mes de los Viejos Maestros

Con una caída del 10% en la facturación en 2020, el segmento de los Antiguos Maestros (artistas nacidos antes de 1760) parece haber resistido mejor que otros segmentos los impactos de la pandemia. Esto probablemente se deba a que una parte importante de las ventas anuales que representa el segmento de los Antiguos Maestros es un mercado notablemente sólido.

«Los coleccionistas de obras de Viejos Maestros buscan la «pieza perfecta» más que la emoción del momento» observa thierry Ehrmann, Presidente y Fundador de Artmarket.com y su departamento Artprice. «El mercado de los Viejos Maestros es, por naturaleza, menos sensible a la ausencia temporal de ferias, grandes inauguraciones cenas de gala. Además, es un mercado que aprecia la investigación exhaustiva y los informes detallados de los expertos… y todo ello puede hacerse online».

La batalla por adquirir el Retrato de un joven sosteniendo un medallón, atribuido a Botticelli, reunió finalmente a solo dos coleccionistas. Pero estos dos decididos postores elevaron el precio de la obra hasta la atrevida estimación de Sotheby’s en medio de una pandemia mundial. Anunciada en septiembre de 2020, esta venta ofreció voluntariamente a todos los interesados tres meses para realizar las investigaciones necesarias.

Londres, frenada por la variante del Covid… y el Brexit

La capital británica suele acoger el segundo gran evento del año. En febrero de 2020, tres cuadros superaron los 20 millones de dólares cada uno en las ventas de Londres:

The Splash (1966) de David Hockney
A la rencontre du plaisir (1962) de René Magritte
Retrato de Marjorie Ferry (1932) de Tamara De Lempicka

Pero la crisis sanitaria ha provocado el aplazamiento de las primeras grandes ventas del año en Londres hasta marzo de 2021. Además, la retirada del Reino Unido de la Unión Europea amenaza con debilitar la posición dominante de Londres en esta parte del mundo. Obviamente, París espera beneficiarse de esta reorganización.

Además, la capital francesa sigue atrayendo cada vez más a los mayores talentos del mercado del arte. Desde principios de año, dos de las galerías más importantes de Italia, Continua y Massimo de Carlo, han abierto en el barrio del Marais, mientras que Sotheby’s se prepara para vender en París la prestigiosa colección de Christo y Jeanne-Claude.

Las próximas semanas prometen ser apasionantes en el mercado del arte, tanto en las subastas como en las galerías de arte… Un pequeño alivio antes de la reapertura de los museos en Europa.

Huawei publica el Libro Blanco NetX 2025

SHENZHEN, China, 18 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — En el resumen informativo previo de medios y analistas online de Huawei para el MWC Shanghai 2021, Peng Song, el presidente del Departamento de Ventas de Operadores de Marketing y Soluciones de Huawei, pronunció un discurso principal titulado «NetX 2025: The Path to Future Networks»(La ruta a las redes del futuro). Durante este discurso, Peng anunció la publicación del Libro Blanco NetX 2025, incluyendo datos de apoyo basados en la…

Peng Song delivered a keynote speech titled "NetX 2025: The Path to Future Networks".

En las últimas dos décadas, los servicios de comunicación han evolucionado desde sólo voz a incluir variedades de datos, vídeo y muchos más. Las tecnologías inalámbricas, de transporte y TI se han desarrollado junto con los servicios de comunicación para satisfacer las crecientes necesidades.

Según Peng, a medida que se acelera la transformación hacia una sociedad inteligente, todas las industrias están entrando en la era digital, en la que la infraestructura de las TIC desempeñará un papel crucial en la economía digital. La planificación de la red objetivo para todos los escenarios de servicio es la clave para el nuevo crecimiento de los operadores. Con la planificación de la red objetivo apuntando al éxito empresarial, la industria debe actuar con la esencia de los negocios en mente. Las redes de telecomunicaciones están destinadas a cambiar enormemente para adaptarse a los nuevos servicios y necesidades tecnológicas. Por lo tanto, los operadores estarán obligados a hacer planes de red objetivo hoy con el fin de aprovechar nuevas oportunidades mañana.

Durante su conferencia magistral, Peng compartió la visión de Huawei para la red de operadores objetivo de 2025. Desde las perspectivas de éxito empresarial y capacidades tecnológicas, Huawei cree que la red objetivo debe tener cinco características: Gigabit en cualquier lugar, ultra-automatización, conexión multinube inteligente, experiencia diferenciada y armonía del medio ambiente.

Five Key Characteristics GUIDE CSP's Target Network

Gigabit en cualquier lugar es esencial para que las redes objetivo proporcionen servicios digitales a los usuarios. Las redes gigabit son la base sobre la que una empresa, una ciudad e incluso la economía de un país pueden crecer. La conectividad Gigabit es el requisito más fundamental para la fabricación de aplicaciones como RV y RA, cámara industrial y recopilación de datos de producción.

La ultra-automatización es esencial para las redes objetivo con O&M inteligente. Con 5G viendo una implementación masiva y más operadores lanzando servicios de digitalización de la industria, la escala y complejidad de las redes están aumentando exponencialmente. Los operadores deben permitir la ultra-automatización mediante la adopción de big data y tecnologías inteligentes. Las redes de operadores pueden crear un mayor valor mediante la automatización inteligente de tareas complejas y la simplificación del trabajo humano.

La conexión multinube inteligente crea una plataforma de red objetivo para la agregación de servicios. Después de años de desarrollo, la tecnología en la nube ha evolucionado desde la TI tradicional a la computación en la nube y, a continuación, a nativa de la nube. La transformación digital de las empresas ha llevado a los sistemas de TI a convertirse en basados en la nube, y la conexión multinube ahora es esencial para cumplir con los requisitos de control de costes, fiabilidad del servicio y recuperación ante desastres multinube. Estos cambios han impulsado nuevos requisitos para la conexión multinube inteligente y han traído nuevas oportunidades para que los operadores desarrollen servicios de convergencia de redes en la nube.

La experiencia diferenciada es la clave para permitir que las redes objetivo faciliten el éxito empresarial. La esencia de la experiencia del usuario es el negocio, y la esencia del negocio es la monetización. Cada vez más prácticas han demostrado que la experiencia diferenciada puede crear una prima. Por ejemplo, en el mercado empresarial y gubernamental, las bolsas están dispuestas a pagar 10 veces el alquiler por una latencia de red más baja de 1 ms. Para los operadores, la experiencia diferenciada significa proporcionar experiencia de mejor esfuerzo y experiencia determinista. Una buena experiencia puede satisfacer las necesidades personales de los usuarios y la experiencia diferenciada es donde los operadores obtienen un nuevo valor.

La armonía medioambiental es el compromiso de la red con las responsabilidades sociales, y es parte de la estrategia de desarrollo sostenible de operadores líderes en todo el mundo. Los operadores deben innovar continuamente productos y tecnologías para ahorrar energía, reducir emisiones y desarrollar una economía circular. También deberían impulsar a los agentes de la industria a cooperar para construir una sociedad de bajo carbono permitiendo las conexiones verdes, servicios, O&M, y aplicaciones a través de innovaciones en equipamiento, potencia, desarrollo de redes, centros de datos, operaciones y aplicaciones.

El libro blanco NetX 2025, lanzado en el resumen pre-MWCS, explica el enfoque de Huawei a las redes de operadores objetivos, incluyendo el impulsor de NetX 2025, el modelo GUIDE que caracteriza NetX 2025, recomendaciones sobre desarrollar NetX 2025, y tecnologías innovadoras importantes para 2025.

Al cerrar su discurso, Peng dijo que el modelo GUIDE de NetX 2025 para operadores representa el conocimiento de Huawei y la visión de las redes futuras y desarrollo de servicio de los operadores. Huawei se compromete a trabajar con operadores e industrias para explorar y construir redes objetivo orientadas al futuro y lograr el éxito empresarial para 2025.

More than 100 North and South American Companies go Dutch in 2020

NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In 2020, 305 foreign companies chose to establish or expand operations in the Netherlands, according to the annual results of Invest in Holland and the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) released today. These companies from around the globe expect to create more than 8,600 direct jobs in the first three years and invest 1.9 billion euros in their projects….

U.S. and Canadian companies like Beyond Meat, Crocs, MSD, Inshur and McCain Foods tallied 100 direct investment projects in the Netherlands in 2020, accounting for nearly one-third of the foreign investment projects that NFIA and its partners were directly involved in worldwide.

Companies from North and South America are expected to invest close to 1.1 billion euros and generate 3,971 new jobs in the Netherlands by 2023. Expansion and relocation projects involved marketing and sales offices, distribution centers, European headquarters, manufacturing facilities and R&D in a range of industries from information technology and agrifood to life sciences & health.

Henny Jacobs, executive director of NFIA Americas, notes: «North and South American companies choose to invest in Holland to capitalize on our highly educated and multilingual workforce, world-class infrastructure, innovative culture and high-quality lifestyle that makes it easy to attract talent. The Netherlands is the America’s best gateway to Western Europe.»

Bas van ‘t Wout, Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy and responsible for the NFIA, emphasizes the importance of foreign businesses: «I am pleased with all the foreign companies that have opted for the Netherlands. These international companies make an important contribution to our economy.»

Jeroen Nijland, NFIA commissioner and chairman of the Invest in Holland network says: «2020 was a year with two stories. The Netherlands is well-positioned for international companies looking for a stable base to serve the European market; for example, companies relocating operations due to Brexit. At the same time, the number of wider inward investments did see a decrease. This effect can largely be explained by the global coronavirus crisis. If we want to invest ourselves out of the crisis, we need to sustain our business climate; especially to encourage sustainable enterprise and innovation in the Netherlands, that enables us to grow.»

Coronavirus crisis constrains results
Foreign business investment has been under pressure everywhere since the coronavirus pandemic. The global crisis and growing economic uncertainty, coupled with fluctuating travel restrictions and supply chain problems, are causing companies to be reluctant to open new offices.

In 2020 the Netherlands saw the number of foreign business investments decrease by about a quarter compared to 2019, while the number of created jobs fell by about 40 percent. An even stronger decline in investments is being tempered thanks to strong Dutch sectors such as life sciences & health, IT and agrifood.

Brexit continues to play an important role
Even now that a Brexit deal has been concluded, the Netherlands remains popular to companies that are experiencing disruption due to Brexit. Many companies in the United Kingdom are currently experiencing problems due to extra administration, procedures, delivery times and worsened access to the European market. Due to continued uncertainty, the number of «Brexit companies» focusing on the Netherlands continues to grow. The NFIA is currently talking to 550 Brexit companies about a relocation or expansion to the Netherlands. This includes British companies, but also American and Asian parties that are reconsidering their current European structure due to the uncertainty caused by Brexit.

Since the referendum in June 2016, 218 Brexit companies have opted for the Netherlands, of which 78 again made the (partial) move last year. These 218 companies together are expected to generate 6,000 jobs and 544 million euros in investments in the first three years after arrival.

NFIA offers free, confidential assistance to companies looking to establish or expand operations in the Netherlands and has North American offices located in Atlanta, Chicago, New York City, San Francisco and Toronto. For more information, visit www.investinholland.com.

United States Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.)
«In 2005 as Governor, I had the opportunity to travel to Japan to meet with Dr. Toyoda and company officials and since then they have been a strong partner for West Virginia. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Toyota as they continue to build on their investments in the state, which now total more than $1.8 billion and support 2,000 good-paying jobs,» said Senator Manchin. «Today’s announcement of 100 new jobs and its continued investment in the state is testament to the team in Buffalo and the West Virginia workforce.

EMBRAER S.A.: Embraer welcomes the decision of the Brazilian government to launch negotiations on subsidies in the aeronautic sector

SÃO PAULO, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Embraer welcomes the Brazilian Government’s decisions to withdraw its ongoing World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute with Canada regarding aeronautical subsidies and to launch negotiations on more effective disciplines to regulate government support in the Commercial Aviation segment.

At the WTO, Brazil challenged more than USD 3 billion in illegal subsidies that the Governments of…

At the WTO, Brazil challenged more than USD 3 billion in illegal subsidies that the Governments of Canada and Quebec provided to Bombardier for the launch, development and production of the C-Series program. These subsidies distorted the conditions of competition in the global market for commercial aircraft, causing serious prejudice to Embraer, in clear violation of WTO rules.

Although Brazil has a strong case, the WTO dispute became ineffective to address the Canadian subsidies and to remedy the distortions generated in the market. After Bombardier exited the Commercial Aviation segment and transferred the C-Series program (now called A220) to Airbus, which has a second assembly line in the United States, the trade dispute against Canada at the WTO is no longer the most effective means to achieve Brazil’s and Embraer’s goal of reestablishing a level playing field in this sector.

Embraer also supports Brazil’s initiative to launch negotiations for more effective disciplines on government support in the commercial aviation segment, as the best way to achieve this goal, as previously seen with the successful experience of the OECD’s Aircraft Sector Understanding (ASU), signed in 2007 to regulate export credits. Ultimately, Embraer believes that commercial aircraft manufacturers should compete against each other based on the merits of their product, not on the amount of funding they receive from their governments.

CEO Confidence Increased to a 17-Year High in Q1 2021

NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Conference Board Measure of CEO Confidence™ in collaboration with The Business Council improved further in the first quarter of 2021, following a sharp increase in the previous survey, conducted in September 2020. The measure now stands at 73, up from 64. This marks the highest level of CEO confidence since Q1 2004, when the measure stood at 74. (A reading above 50 points reflects more…

The outlook for employees’ wages has improved, while the potential for layoffs has receded. In Q1, 36 percent of CEOs foresaw increasing their employees’ wages by more than 3 percent over the next 12 months, compared with 22 percent in the previous survey. Moreover, just 12 percent CEOs said they anticipated reducing their workforce over the next 12 months, down from 34 percent. Talent shortages appear to be slowly reemerging: In Q1, business leaders reporting some trouble attracting qualified workers, in key or several areas, increased from 36 percent to 49 percent.

«With the vaccine rollout underway in major economies, CEOs entered 2021 historically upbeat,» said Dana Peterson, Chief Economist of The Conference Board. «They foresee the economy improving further over the next six months. However, setbacks from the pandemic remain a risk to future growth.»

Overall, 82 percent of CEOs expected economic conditions to improve over the next six months, up from 63 percent in the previous survey. The proportion expecting conditions to worsen was cut in half—from 15 percent to 7 percent. Similarly, 78 percent of CEOs anticipate short-term prospects in their own industries to improve, up from 65 percent last September.

«CEOs across industries are planning for life after COVID-19,» said Roger W. Ferguson, Jr., Vice Chairman of The Business Council and Trustee of The Conference Board. «If downside risks are avoided, then this optimism will likely translate into higher wages, employment, and capital spending over the next year.»

Current Conditions
CEOs’ assessment of general economic conditions remained positive overall in Q1:

67 percent of CEOs reported economic conditions were better compared to six months ago, down slightly from 70 percent
However, only 10 percent said conditions were worse, down from 21 percent

CEOs remained optimistic about conditions in their own industries in Q1 compared to the prior survey:

68 percent of CEOs reported conditions in their industries were better compared to six months ago, unchanged from the September survey
However, only 8 percent said conditions were worse in their own industries, down from 20 percent

Future Conditions
Expectations about the short-term economic outlook improved considerably in Q1 over the previous survey:

82 percent of CEOs expected economic conditions to improve over the next six months, up from 63 percent
Moreover, only 7 percent expected conditions to worsen, down from 15 percent

CEOs’ expectations regarding short-term prospects in their own industries also improved in Q1:

78 percent of CEOs anticipated improved conditions in their industry, up from 65 percent
7 percent expected conditions to worsen, down from 11 percent

Capital Spending, Employment, Recruiting, and Wages
The survey also gauged CEOs’ expectations about four key actions their companies plan on taking over the next 12 months.

Capital Spending: 45 percent of CEOs expected to increase their capital budgets in the year ahead, while 15 percent anticipated decreasing spending, compared with 25 percent and 37 percent, respectively
Employment: 47 percent of CEOs expected to expand their workforce; up from 33 percent in the September survey
Hiring Qualified People: 50 percent of CEOs expected few, if any, problems finding qualified workers, down from 62 percent
Wages: 36 percent of CEOs expect to increase wages by 3 percent or more; just 1 percent foresee wage cuts
