It was recently reported that old master paintings sold well in a series of auctions in London. As a matter of fact, they out performed the impressionist and modern contemporary sales for the first time. This was wonderful news to me because the old master paintings are among my favorite.
It is believed that the market for the old master paintings appear to be holding up despite the economic downturn seen with other art sales. The paintings recently sold at Sotheby’s and Christie’s were from the 1500 and 1600’s. These paintings were by well known and lesser known artists.
Although I am also fond of the impressionist paintings, I can certainly see why the old master paintings remain popular. In uncertain times you will want to rely on the classics.
