In May 1995, Andrew Lloyd Webber, creator of a string of international hit musicals and a very wealthy man, spent U.S. $ 29.2 million on Picasso’s "Portrait of Angel Fernanders de Soto". It was the highest price paid at auction for a painting since the art market crashed in 1990.Lloyd Webber has a theory that Picasso’s Blue Period paintings were influenced by Burne-Jones, the British Pre-Raphaelite master whose international reputation stood high at the turn of the century. The theory is not shared by many art historians, but that doesn’t matter to the composer. He had been looking for a Blue Period Picasso for some time.It is now extremely hard to come by Blue Period Picassos- figurative works that are drenched in melancholy, expressed by a dominant use of blue. Blue Period subjects par excellence are mothers and children or harlequins; Lloyd Webber’s purchase is not the most attractive of them. He paid roughly double what the picture was worth. He seems to have got carried away when the bidding started to climb.The Picasso was one of the two highest prices of the 1994-1995 auction season, and help illustrate what has been happening in this curious market. The very rich have got their confidence back, which has meant that buyers can be found for works of really outstanding quality and, very occasionally, bidding battles have driven prices back to their 1989-1990 levels.The 1980s boom collapsed in 1990. After several false dawns there are now signs that serious recovery has begun. More than an expansion of the market, however, it reflects the relative weakness of the American dollar, the currency in which most art deals are transacted. Collectors from countries with stronger currencies have been finding dollar prices cheap.The middle market is still fairly weak. It is not unusual for up to half the lots on offer at a Christie’s or Sotheby’s sale to be left unsold. Dealers, as opposed to auctioneers, are still finding it hard to make a living and seldom buy for stock. The auctioneers have tried to replace them by encouraging private people to buy directly at auction and more of them are doing this. But private buying is unpredictable and cannot underpin the market in the way dealer buying used to. Private individuals buy what they want; they don’t bid on everything that is going cheap.Overall, the nature of the market is changing. In the 1980s art was bought as a speculation: buy in April, sell for double the price in September. This mentality vanished with the 1990 collapse, but the very rich and their financial advisors still take the view that it is sensible to keep a percentage of your investment portfolio in art. It is this kind of money that creates the fancy prices at the top end of the market.Geographically, the present recovery has been led by North America. Normally a major recession, such as was experienced in the United States, results in a shift of taste. But the Americans liked Impressionist and classic modern pictures best before the market collapse and that is what they have been coming back to. It is currently the strongest sector of the picture market. Contemporary and Old Master markets are still struggling and there are few buyers for Victorian pictures, apart from Lloyd Webber.Besides Europe and America, however, there is now a growing market in the East. Indeed, the East has become the great hope of hard-pressed dealers over the last three years —they have been aiming to find new buyers in Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China.There are more rich connoisseurs in Japan than anywhere else but they have not been in a buying mood. Japanese speculators lost huge amounts of money in the 1990s crash and there are few collectors who dare to buy any works of art today. The market in Chinese ceramics, works of art, jade jewelry and old and modern brush paintings is now dominated worldwide by wealthy collectors from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. The huge volume of excavated art that is smuggled out of China has dramatically weakened the archaeological end of this market but rarities, especially the late imperial porcelains, are selling well. There have even been two or three successful auctions inside China since 1994. The local millionaires are beginning to put their money into art. What does the author say about the North American market().

A. The American buyers of pictures have not changed their taste.
B. The middle market remains strong.
C. The Americans buy art as a speculation.
D. It is experiencing a major recession.

Strong playersVideo games let you escape into an alternative reality -- something gaming firms know about at first hand. For as other technology firms face stagnant or shrinking markets, the video-games industry seems to inhabit a parallel universe. It has had a bumper year, maybe the best it ever will. Global sales of games software and hardware will exceed $31 billion this year. This summer, UBS Warburg invested 17% of its model technology portfolio in two games publishers, Electronic Arts and Activision. Gaming, it seems, is recession-proof.The industry is booming because it has its own cycle, as one generation of hardware succeeds another every few years. (8) Games consoles are flying off the shelves. The current line-up is of Sony’s PlayStation2, the market leader by far, plus Microsoft’s Xbox and Nintendo’s GameCube, which are fighting for a distant second place.Each gaming boom is bigger than the last. Children who have grown up with games keep on playing, which expands the market. It also increases the players’ average age: the average American gamer is 28. (9) This shift is reflected in the rise of "mature"-rated games, which now account for 13% of the American market, up from 6% in 2001.(10) Many observers are optimistic about the prospects for games sales next year, particularly in America. But the figures suggest that 2002 was the peak of the cycle, and that the market will shrink next year. Other observers expect console sales to grow only slightly next year.Things will then cool off until the next generation of consoles appears in 2005. The next peak is not expected until 2007. (11) Both are dwarfed by console gaming at the moment, but are the focus of much activity, and could provide recurring revenues to help smooth out the industry’s cyclical nature.Online gaming has got off to a small but promising start in recent weeks with the release of adaptors that link consoles over the Internet. In America, Microsoft sold 150,000 starter kits for its "Xbox Live" service within a week of its launch last month. Sony says it has signed up 175,000 subscribers to its rival online service, launched in August. Both services will launch in Europe next year.Gaming on mobile phones is also taking small but crucial steps forward. Today’s phones mostly have one or two simple games built in. The latest handsets have colour screens and can download software remotely. (12) Games take roughly a minute to download, but adding one to a handset is almost as easy as downloading a new ringing tone or screen logo. It is predicted that mobile-gaming revenues will reach $3.5 billion in the next five years; other estimates are higher. 11()

A. Older players tend to have more disposable income to spend on games than do teenagers.
B. Their processing power matches that of the arcade-game machines of the 1980s, so classic games run well.
C. But how much longer will the good times last
D. That cycle, unrelated to the broader economic cycle, is now at or near its peak.
E. But the industry has two new tricks up its sleeve, in the form of online and mobile gaming.
F. They are so wisely designed that they can be connected to any game machines.
G. It has had a bumper year, maybe the best it ever will.
