MARKET: The Value of Art | Episode 2: Condition

Sotheby's

Sotheby’s presents The Value of Art | Episode 2: Condition

Yes, the paint might be cracking on the surface of a canvas, but is that a signature feature of the artist’s work, or a sign of damage? Only experts like the seasoned team at Sotheby’s can correctly assess a work’s physical state and understand how condition impacts value. “Some people might want their Dutch landscape to look like it’s been sitting over a smoky wood fire for the last century,” says Old Masters Paintings specialist Jonquil O’Reilly. But as Episode 2 reveals, “perfection” is a nuanced matter. Specialists in this episode: Nicolas Chow, Frances Christie, Julian Dawes, Frank Everett, Selby Kiffer, Meredith, Kirk Courtney Kremers, Connor Kriegel, Mee-Seen Loong, Michael Macaulay, Jonquil O’Reilly, Edoardo Roberti and Simon Stock.
