CONNERY PISSARRO SEYDOUX The Latest Market Trends in Impressionist & Modern Art February 2015, London The first auctions of the year provide an important indication of the market’s health and the key trends that can be expected in the year ahead. As the first 2015 Impressionist & Modern Art auction season closes, please find below our latest observations on the state of the market, our insights into how the public auctions relate to private sales, and a summary of the auctions, their highlights, and our takeaways. MARKET TRENDS - Monet: Monet continued to lead this season with strong prices across the board. A world record price was achieved for a Venice view when Le Grand Canal sold at Sotheby’s for £23.7 million ($35.8 million), almost three times the amount it achieved when last sold in November 2005. Although a record, the Monet was sold at the low estimate to the guarantor on a single bid. While demand for Monet remains strong, high estimates could discourage bidders and impact the market in sales to come. - Impressionism: Good results were seen for Impressionism in general, and notably for Sisley and Renoir, for whom interest was more subdued throughout 2014. Bright and decorative subjects remain the driving force of the Impressionist market. - Late Miró Paintings: Phenomenal prices were achieved for late Miró paintings. Painting, dated 1950, sold at Christie’s for £15.5 million ($23.6 million), the third highest price paid at auction for a Miró, and the record price for a post-1920s Miró. The earlier works, traditionally favored by the market, failed to raise the same interest, possibly due to bare canvas backgrounds being less commercial than blue or white ones. -

RCEWA – Le Palais Ducal by Claude Monet Statement of the Expert Adviser to the Secretary of State that the painting meets Waverley criteria two and three. Further Information The ‘Applicant’s statement’ and the ‘Note of Case History’ are available on the Arts Council Website: www.artscouncil.org.uk/reviewing-committee-case-hearings Please note that images and appendices referenced are not reproduced. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Claude Monet (1840-1926) Le Palais Ducal, 1908 Oil on canvas 81 x 93 cm Claude Monet painted Le Palais Ducal during and after his visit to Venice in 1908. It shows the sun-lit Doges’ Palace with its reflection in the water reaching down the height of the canvas. As opposed to the campaigns of painting previously undertaken in London, Monet was seeking a rest from work on the water lily paintings and took the chance of a holiday with his wife Alice who chronicled the stay through daily letters home. While in Venice Monet began to paint and anticipated a second visit to follow in 1909, but the deterioration of Alice Monet’s health prevented the couple’s return. As with other campaigns, Monet anticipated that related works would be shown together although he was eventually to declare that ‘there was not a series among the views’. The Venetian paintings are, indeed, distinguished by a wider range of motifs and a smaller number of completed canvases than had been established with previous series. Both are attributable to Monet scouting for promising subjects as he extended his stay and which he imagined pursuing on a later visit. -

Saint-Raymond: The Case of Félix Ziem—Evidence from His Account Book from 1850 through 1883 Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 15, no. 1 (Spring 2016) How to Get Rich as an Artist: The Case of Félix Ziem—Evidence from His Account Book from 1850 through 1883 by Léa Saint-Raymond Félix Ziem (1821–1911) was one of the wealthiest artists in nineteenth-century France. Recognized as the “painter of Venice,” he made his reputation in the 1850s by displaying his landscapes at the Paris Salon. In 1910, thanks to a bequest of Alfred Chauchard that included a number of his paintings, he became the first artist whose works entered the Louvre Museum during his lifetime. To what did the artist owe his fame and fortune? The key to understanding his reputation and, especially, his monetary success, is his account book, which he kept meticulously for more than thirty years, from 1850 to 1883.[1] The aim of this article is to open this “black box” in order to understand both his economic success and the social networks at its core.
