The art market in Saint-Barthélemy

As the island has many relatively well-off owners, the art market is quite developed in Saint Barthélémy, but more in terms of galleries. There are many collectors on the island who often buy from galleries, but face difficulties in reselling their possessions in the event of an inheritance, a move or any other change that may occur.
