• declines

Opaqueness in pricing - 

• 90% of artwork by galleries are not transparent.
• 10% of artworks sold by auction where prices are publicly announced and benchmarks are set.
• Galleries can drive up the prices to back up their art in their galleries.

Lack of regulation- 

• art is globally a $50 BILLION a year industry.

FAKES 

• informal estimates are that %30 of art market is fake.
• 1- out of 100 is fake and sold.

ART AUTHENTICATIONS

• historically experts and foundations were frank about their opinions on authenticity.

HOW ARE ARTWORKS ANALYSED

• visually analyse based on the correspondence eg: research, documentation etc...
• Scientific analysis -  carbon 14 dating

VINCENT VAN GOGH
