Art Market and Art Provenance Research

Trace the history of artwork ownership and valuations.Drawing of a painting auction by Honore Duamier (1808).

  • Art markets persistently influence art historical research. They serve as a place for identification, evaluation, and contextualization when new works or art collections change hands.
  • Art Markets document and define points in history for works of art, artist, or an artistic movement. When artworks come to market, these become dates in the artwork's provenance history. Auction listings and sales contribute to the story of an artwork.
  • Read more about the art market, in the Oxford Encyclopedia or dive into  the market research with these sources,
