Art Myths Debunked
Understanding Art Value: Myth vs. Reality
Myth: Art Becomes Pricier After an Artist's Death
Reality: The price of art increases when demand outweighs supply, not merely because an artist has passed away. If there was already a scarcity of the artist's work before their death, and demand remains high, prices might go up. For instance, Art News (November 2003) highlighted the ten most sought-after artworks, each potentially worth over $5 million?"if their current owners were willing to sell. However, these collectors hold onto their pieces, knowing they can’t easily replace such unique works.
Myth: Artist’s Proofs Are More Valuable
Reality: Artist’s proofs generally match the regular edition in both appearance and value. Occasionally, a color trial proof may be considered more valuable if experts believe it offers a superior visual appeal compared to standard editions or artist's proofs.
Myth: "It's Just a Print"
Reality: Not all artworks are painted; some artists excel in mediums like lithography, etching, serigraphy, or woodcuts. Original prints by renowned artists can fetch over $100,000. The term "just a print" typically refers to a reproduction, which is a mechanical copy of an existing artwork.
Valuing Art from Photographs
Challenge: As a professional art appraiser, accuracy is crucial. Photographs often fail to capture condition issues such as light staining, mat burning, or foxing, which can significantly affect an artwork’s value. Additionally, a photo may not distinguish between an original painting and a reproduction on canvas. With giclée prints on canvas sometimes enhanced with paint, a hands-on inspection is essential to confirm authenticity.
