A few articles leading up to this weeks Old Master sales at Sotheby’s and Christie’s. Will the market’s softening extend itself to the market, or will history repeat itself? From Margaret Studer’s article below:
“In the last major art-market slowdown, in the early 1990s, old masters were “affected, but less,” says Alex Bell, world-wide head of old master paintings at Sotheby’s. He says he expects buyers to be more selective with marginal pieces, which are harder to sell, but for top-end works to still do well.”
