The current heightened interest in works by historical women artists, highlighted by recent exhibitions and sales, reflects a significant shift towards recognizing these artists long overlooked.
Sotheby’s inaugural (Women) Artists sale demonstrated that the market for works by female artists has not only grown but is dynamic, with high sales significantly exceeding expectations.
Historical auction data from 1700 to 1850 reveals that works by women artists were not mere anomalies; they constituted a noteworthy segment of the fine art market.
This resurgence in value and demand aligns intriguingly with similar patterns observed in the 18th and 19th-century Parisian art markets, indicating a historical continuity and re-evaluation.
