Sir Francis Barry – The Forgotten British Master – artmarketblo
2009-10-17 13:55:00 Sir Francis Barry – The Forgotten British Master – artmarketblog.com Victoire Feux d'Artifices, Moscow by Francis Barry One of the things that excites me more than anything else is discovering an artist who has not yet received the recognition that they deserve and having the opportunity to help that artist achieve the success that their work is worthy of receiving. Usually these artists are emerging contemporary artists who are just beginning their career as professional artists but I was recently introduced to the work of an artist who has been dead for almost 40 years – an artist who is essentially a forgotten master. The artist in question is the prodigious Sir Claude Francis Barry R.B.A, a British painter and etcher born in 1883 who produced a varied body of work that appears to be have been influenced most strongly by Fauvism and Neo-Impressionism (also known as pointillism), but also exhibited characteristics reminiscent of the work of the Vorticists (Bri...
Indian Classical Art Set to Soar – artmarketblog.com
2009-10-10 14:01:00 Indian Classical Art Set to Soar – artmarketblog.com I am really looking forward to seeing the new “Maharaja: the Splendour of India’s Royal Courts” exhibition which will be opening at the Victoria and Albert museum in London on the 10th of October. According to the V&A website “The heyday of the maharajas began in earnest after the collapse of the Mughal empire in the early 18th century. The exhibition will open with this period of chaos and adventure and will close at the end of British rule in 1947, when Indian princes acceded their territories into the modern states of India and Pakistan.” Although it may not seem that exciting, this exhibition is a very important exhibition in my opinion because of the extent to which historic Indian works of art are undervalued. One of the reasons for this is the lack of cultural sector infrastructure in India which means that there is relatively little scholarly or curatorial attention paid to the works...

Sotheby’s Changes to Franchise in Oz – artmarketblog.com
2009-10-05 14:17:00 Sotheby’s Changes to Franchise in Oz – artmarketblog.com In what I understand is an unprecedented event, Australian auction house Bonhams and Goodman Auctioneers will ditch the Bonhams brand and relaunch as the Australian arm of Sotheby’s. According to the ACCC website, “First East Auction Holdings trading as Bonhams & Goodman proposes to acquire auction business and associated assets of Sotheby’s Australia and also obtain a licence to use the Sotheby’s trademark in Australia and New Zealand for a period of 10 years.” Sotheby’s International has operated a branch in Australia since 1982 but will now hand over the reins to Tim Goodman, head of Bonhams and Goodman, along with a license agreement which gives Goodman the right to operate under the Sotheby’s name. Bonhams, on the other hand, will now manage their own operations in Australia instead licensing their name to another company. According to Bonhams: “Bonhams 1793 – a shareholde...
20/21 British Art Fair Report – artmarketblog.com
2009-09-30 01:06:00 20/21 British Art Fair Report – artmarketblog.com The 20/21 British Art Fair held at the Royal College of Art building was a great event that attracted plenty of admirers (and buyers) with a wide variety of fantastic art. Sales at the fair were reported to be quite good and the atmosphere was very positive. Most of what was on offer was the work of well known British modern artists such as Ben Nicholson, Graham Sutherland, L.S.Lowry , Mary Feddon and Ivon Hitchens etc. , which would make sense considering that the market for contemporary art (21st century) has suffered so much. Perhaps the show should have been called the 20/20 British Art Fair instead of the 20/21 British Art Fair. The Modern British market did not experience the same level of price inflation that other movements/markets experienced during the boom, and consequently did not suffer as much when the art market downturn took place. As a result, demand for top quality works by Modern British artists that are fres...
Chinese Artefacts Attract Massive Prices – artmarketblog.com
2009-09-25 13:08:00 Chinese Artefacts Attract Massive Prices – artmarketblog.com Chinese famille rose bowl - Sold for $115,000 against a $300 estimate at Brunk Auctions I don’t think that many people, except maybe the Chinese, realise how much wealth exists in China as well as other areas of Asia. The last few weeks have produced many examples of the unjustifiably massive amounts of money that are being paid for objects of Chinese decorative art by wealthy Chinese collectors. Take, for instance, the AU$32,000 paid for a Chinese carved wooden panel by a Chinese collector at an Australian auction which had an original estimate of AU$600. How about the US$58,400 achieved at an iGavel.com online auction for a large modern Chinese carved celadon jade phoenix form vase against an estimate of only US$1200 -$1800 – a huge amount for what was identified by iGavel as a modern piece with no real historical or provenencial value. Christie’s Asian Art Week produced even more aston... More About: Chinese
