Our client base is national and international. I can say that there is a great deal of interest about the area of the market we deal in. While we handle some American art—Daniel Ridgway Knight, William Glackens, Antonio Jacobsen, G. Harvey, Jane Petersen, Guy Carleton Wiggins, Johann Berthelsen, Orville Bulman, etc.—our primary focus is [still] 19th- and 20th-century French art.
Over the past 18 to 24 months, we started seeing younger collectors, 30 to 35 years of age, entering our area of the market and acquiring high-quality academic and post-impressionist works by both American and European artists. The most interesting part is that they have all stated that they see a great deal of value in these works.
The 19th- and early 20th-century parts of the art market are undervalued at this time; there are so many talented and underappreciated artists. In 2008, works by most artists from these periods dropped in value and remained extremely low for more than a decade. Over the past two years, prices have begun to rise, but there are so many whose works are still very affordable—among them are Daniel Ridgway Knight, Louis Aston Knight, Antonio Jacobsen and Jane Peterson.
