The Paris art scene, birthplace of Impressionism, Surrealism and other major-isms, has been supplanted, at least in commercial terms, by New York City and London. Auction houses in France today account for only 8% of all public sales of contemporary art, calculates Alain Quemin, a researcher at France's University of Marne-La-Vallee, compared with 50% in the U.S. and 30% in Britain. In an annual calculation by the German magazine Capital, the U.S. and Germany each have four of the world's 10 most widely exposed artists; France has none. An ArtPrice study of the 2006 contemporary-art market found that works by the leading European figure--Britain's Damien Hirst--sold for an average of $180,000. The top French artist on the list, Robert Combas, commanded $7,500 per work.

France does have composers and conductors of international repute, but no equivalents of such 20th century giants as Debussy, Satie, Ravel and Milhaud. In popular music, French chanteurs and chanteuses such as Charles Trenet, Charles Aznavour and Edith Piaf were once heard the world over. Today, Americans and Brits dominate the pop scene. Though the French music industry sold $1.7 billion worth of recordings and downloads last year, few performers are famous outside the country.* *
France's new President, Nicolas Sarkozy, has pledged to bolster not just its economy, work ethic and diplomatic standing--he has also promised to 'modernize and deepen the cultural activity of France.' Details are sketchy, but the government has already proposed an end to admission charges at museums and, while cutting budgets elsewhere, hiked the Culture Ministry by 3.2%, to $11 billion.
