How artist-based valuation works

Authenticity

Is it truly by the artist or a reproduction, print, later edition, or studio production?

Medium

Medium shifts value: oils often highest; works on paper vary; prints depend on edition and rarity.

Condition

Cracking, fading, tears, water damage, or overcleaning reduce value—even for known artists.

Subject & style

Iconic styles, desirable subjects, and strong compositions tend to command more.

Comparable sales

Auction records and historical comps anchor estimates for similar works.

Some artists have strong collector demand and high-value markets; others are regional or emerging with different pricing patterns.
