(the painting is now in the collection of the San Antonio Museum, San Antonio, Texas)\u00a0 By the 1920s the Academic artists fell from grace and much of their art could be bought for under $1,000 and some for a little as $50&#8230; hard to believe, but it is true.\u00a0 Great Bouguereau paintings that appeared on the market in the 20s and 30s sold for $600 &#8211; $1,000; <a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/virtexjd.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Julien Dupr\u00e9<\/a>&#8216;s cost was as little as $50, and large Ridgway Knight paintings sold for $300.\u00a0 When is time travel going to be a reality?<br \/><br \/>Since many of these works had little value from the 1920s through the late 1960s, detailed ownership records were rarely kept, and much of that information was lost.\u00a0 Today, with renewed interest in many earlier periods of art, including the 19th century, Academic painters, dealers, and collectors are trying to piece together the ownership history for each work they acquire.\u00a0 Compiling a complete provenance can add great interest and possibly some value.<br \/><br \/>Now, you may be wondering: how can the provenance add value?\u00a0 Well, ideally, it should not &#8211; value should be based on quality, condition, etc.; but there is something I refer to as\u00a0 &#8216;the celebrity factor&#8217; &#8211; a phenomenon that is often seen in the auction arena when entire auctions feature the property of a &#8216;famous&#8217; person.\u00a0 When these sales take place, you may find that fans want to acquire something the celebrity owned, and the hype, along with the ensuing frenzy, can result in huge prices for &#8216;stuff&#8217; or &#8216;junk.&#8217;\u00a0 People are being led to believe that just because someone famous owned the item (or is now part of the provenance), the value of those items will remain excessively high, regardless of the quality and condition &#8212; I have my doubts.\u00a0 I believe that years later, most of these items will be judged not only on their provenance but on quality, condition, and desirability \u2026 in other words, do not get caught up in the initial craziness; you might find that when you want to sell, there is a serious price adjustment.<br \/><br \/>Of course, there are times when an item&#8217;s provenance will greatly impact its price; good examples of this can be found in the furniture market.\u00a0 If there are two identical 18th-century armchairs for sale and one belonged to Marie Antoinette, you can bet that the market will pay much more for the one she sat on.<br \/><br \/>Another important point when considering provenance is the war years &#8211; specifically World War II.\u00a0 Just before and during that time (1933 &#8211; 1945), the Nazis stole\/confiscated\/looted thousands upon thousands of works by historically important artists &#8212; many of which were owned by Jewish families.\u00a0 Today, when works by artists who were known to have been targeted appear on the market (examples: Monet, Renoir, Picasso, Sisley, van Gogh, Klimt, etc.), it is vital that the provenance be as clear and complete as possible; especially for those works that were in European collections just before 1933.\u00a0 You do not want to discover that you spent millions on a painting and then the rightful heirs start legal action for restitution.\u00a0 You can read our story about tracking down the provenance of a Sisley painting <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/newsletterarchives.htm?newsletter_no=112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.<br \/><br \/>Generally, when looking at a work of art, always ask about its provenance or history of ownership. While it is not a must for most works of art that are bought and sold today, if available, it is a nice thing to have.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Provenance is an interesting topic to think about since every work of art has a provenance (history of ownership), but the complete provenance may not be known.\u00a0 Important works (those created by artists who have always been considered historically influential) &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2018\/11\/how-to-safely-navigate-the-art-market-provenance\/?contemporary=N\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":30689,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,1],"tags":[400,1231,397],"class_list":["post-30795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rehs-galleries","category-rehs-contemporary","tag-how-to-safely-navigate-the-art-market","tag-ownership","tag-provenance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How To Safely Navigate The Art Market: Provenance<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2018\/11\/how-to-safely-navigate-the-art-market-provenance\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How To Safely Navigate The Art Market: Provenance\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Provenance is an interesting topic to think about since every work of art has a provenance (history of ownership), but the complete provenance may not be known.\u00a0 Important works (those created by artists who have always been considered historically influential) &hellip; More...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2018\/11\/how-to-safely-navigate-the-art-market-provenance\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Rehs Galleries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RehsGalleriesInc\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/howard.rehs\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-11-26T20:34:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-12-06T02:44:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/john_bentham_dinsdale_e1223_the_flag_the_flag_the_precious_flag_BLACK_AND_WHITE.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1053\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Howard L.
